The roots of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) are a rich source of flavonoids, in particular, prenylated flavonoids, such as the isoflavan glabridin and the isoflavene glabrene. Fractionation of an ethyl acetate extract from licorice root by centrifugal partitioning chromatography yielded 51 fractions, which were characterized by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and screened for activity in...

Glycyrrhiza glabra L. is used in folk medicine for treatment of stomach disorders includingpeptic ulcers. The hydroalcoholic extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (HEGG) was evaluated forantiulcerogenic activity and acute toxicity profile in mice. Various doses of HEGG (50-200mg/kg) were administered orally to animals of different groups. Omeprazole and cimetidine atdoses of 30 and 100 mg/kg were us...

Hairy roots were induced by infecting stems and leaves of Glycyrrhiza inflata with Agrobacterium rhizogenes ATCC 15834. The optimization of growth and glycyrrhizin accumulation of G. inflata hairy roots was studied. Sucrose (6%, w/v) was optimal for growth and glycyrrhizin accumulation in G. inflata hairy roots. Effects of elicitors like chitosan, methyl jasmonate, and yeast extract on glycyrrh...

Cell growth and flavonoid production in cell suspension cultures of Glycyrrhiza inflata Batal were investigated under various initial inoculum densities, and sucrose and nitrogen concentrations to develop an optimization method for an improved flavonoid production. Both biomass accumulation and flavonoid production exhibited an "S" curve in one culture cycle, with the greatest value obtained on...

In Group 1, 15 were male and 5 were female and in Group 2, 11 patients were male and 9 were female. The healing of peptic ulcer was visible in 95% of Group 1 and 70% of Group 2. Pathologically, in Group 1, the eradicative effect of licorice against H. pylori was 70% in comparison to Group 2 (45%). These figures based on the urease breath test results were 55% and 40% respectively. In 80% of Gro...

A randomized, double blind placebo controlled study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of GutGard (root extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra) in the management of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) gastric load. Participants diagnosed with H. pylori infection were randomly assigned to two groups to orally receive 150 mg of GutGard (n = 55) or placebo (n = 52) once daily for 60 days. H. pylori infecti...

Introduction The population aged over 60 years in Iran will reach around 10 million in 2020 and over 26 million in 2050 that will be 23% of the total population (1). Cognitive impairment represents one of the common disorders in the elderly such that around 35% of them present with it at different severities. Alzheimer disease is the progressive stage of this disorder (2). In cognitive impairme...
