General description

Liquiritin is a type of flavone, present as an active ingredient in Glycyrrhiza uralensis and Glycyrrhiza glabra extract. It is a constituent of many traditional Chinese medicine formulas popularly used as a cure for asthma, peptic ulcers, and cough.[1][2][3]

Application

Liquiritin has been used to analyze the extract of Glycyrrhiza uralensis and examine its components for anti-Hepatitis C virus activity.[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Liquiritin has been attributed to show antidepressant-like and antioxidant activity.[4] It causes apoptosis in cell lines having gastric cancer and promyelocytic leukemia. Liquiritin also demonstrates neurotrophic effects and hence has been considered as a potential contender for the management of different neurodegenerative diseases.[2] It shows an anti-inflammatory property with protection to the liver against oxidative damage.[3] It has depigmenting ability and is a potential medicine for melasma.[5]
