extracts of cotoneaster medicus, glycyrrhiza glabra, as endemic plants of iran, along with mixture of them were investigated for their antioxidant activities using 2, 2- diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazyl (dpph) reagent. uv-vis spectrophotometry method was used to evaluate the ability of cotoneaster and glycyrrhiza glabra antioxidant to scavenge dpph radical. the kinetic parameters such as rate constant...

BACKGROUND Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) resistance to drugs and the side effects of drugs have drawn the attention of investigators to herbal plants. OBJECTIVES The main aim of the current research was to investigate the effects of Glycyrrhiza glabra (liquorice root) on HSV-1. One of the objectives of the current research was to determine the efficacy and the effect of the elapsed incubatio...

Glycyrrhiza glabra and its phytoconstituents have been known to possess widespread pharmacological properties as an anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, antitumour and hepatoprotective drug. In this study, we examined the inhibitory potential of extract of G. glabra (GutGard™) root and its phytoconstituents (glabridin, glycyrrhizin, and isoliquiritigenin) on both cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase...

The global demand for herbal cosmetics is vastly increasing due to their health benefits and relative safety. Glycyrrhiza spp. extracts are used in cosmetic preparations skin-whitening, antisensitizing, anti-inflammatory properties. aim of this work computationally evaluate the bioactive constituents licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) that possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, dermatocosmetic a...

Glycyrrhiza glabra extract is gaining increasing acceptance as a folk remedy for treatment of wound. We studied the effect of its extract on wound tensile strength in albino rats. 20 male albino rats had a linear 3 cm incision made over skin of back. The animals were randomly divided into two experimental groups, as control and treatment. Animals of control group received topical cold cream onc...

Licorice, the root of the Glycyrrhiza species, is one of the most frequently employed botanicals in traditional medicines. In this study, we investigated the effects of hydrophobic flavonoids from Glycyrrhiza glabra LINNE on abdominal fat accumulation and blood glucose level in obese diabetic KK-A(y) mice. In order to enrich a fraction of hydrophobic flavonoids, licorice flavonoid oil (LFO) was...

Abstract The effects of hydrostatic pressure (from 100 to 250 MPa with different exposure options) on the germination hard seeds licorice ( Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch.) were studied. Among used pressures, best result was obtained after three times by exposure. In this variant, good dynamics swelling and observed, proportion normal seedlings from total number in studied sample largest. It is sh...
