OBJECTIVE In this study, antimicrobial activities of an ethanol extract of Tribulus terrestris aloneand in combination with Capsella bursa-pastoris and Glycyrrhiza glabra were examined in vitro against six pathogens namely Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguis, Actinomyces viscosus, Enterococcus faecalis Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. MATERIALS AND METHODS Antibacterial ac...

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...

AIMS The aim of this study was to describe quantitatively the potential demethylating effects of the plant-derived compound isoliquritigenin (ILTG) on the death-associated protein kinase-1 (DAPK1) promoter region of colon cancer and leukemia cell lines. METHODS Methylation-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction-melting curve analysis (MSP-MCA) was the primary method used. A simple cytot...

The present work aims to characterize and quantify the phenolic composition and to evaluate the antioxidant activity of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (commonly known as licorice) rhizomes and roots. The antioxidant potential of its methanol/water extract could be related to flavones (mainly apigenin derivatives), flavanones (mainly liquiritin derivatives), a methylated isoflavone and a chalcone, identi...

The main aim of this study was to enrich glycyrrhizic acid ammonium salt known as one of the main compounds of licorice roots (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) by isoelectric focused adsorptive bubble separation technique with different foaming agents. In the experiments, four bubble separation parameters were used with β-lactoglobulin, albumin bovine, and starch (soluble) preferred as foaming agents and...

There are various human diseases caused by Vibrio species which are pathogenic in nature these diseases are mainly water-borne. In this case “To Study the Therapeutic Role of Indian Spices In The Treatment Of Gastrointestinal Disease Caused By Vibrio Species”. I have chosen fifteen types of Indian spices which are as follows Amomum subulatum, Brassica nigra, Capsicum annuum, Cinnamomum tamala, ...

Glycyrrhizic acid (GA) is a triterpene glycoside found in the roots of licorice plants (Glycyrrhiza glabra). GA is the most important active ingredient in the licorice root, and possesses a wide range of pharmacological and biological activities. GA coupled with glycyrrhetinic acid and 18-beta-glycyrrhetic acid was developed in China or Japan as an anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antiallergic...
