Description

General description

Liquiritigenin is a flavonoid and an estrogenic compound found in licorice (Glycyrrhizae radix) root extract and several other plants.[1]

Application

Liquiritigenin has been used:

• to study its inhibitory effect on tumor metastasis in the treatment of colorectal cancer[2]
• as a reference standard for ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) of Chaihu-Shugan-San (CSS) extract[3]
• as a potential antiviral drug against hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Liquiritigenin displays anti-diabetic[1] and choleretic[5] properties. It exerts anti-inflammatory activity on Raw246.7 cells by inhibiting nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB)-dependent-induction of inducible NOS (iNOS).[6] Liquiritigenin inhibits liver fibrogenesis by blocking Hippo/Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/small mothers against decapentaplegic (Smad) components.[7] It is a selective estrogen receptor β agonist[8] cells.[9] Liquiritigenin induces apoptosis in SMM-721 cells by disruption of the mitochondrial membrane potential and increased production of reactive oxygen species.[10]
