This study was conducted to determine the effects of soil and climatic conditions on glycyrrhizic acid contents in various Iranian populations of Glycyrrhiza glabra in two root diameters. Twelve populations in arid, semi-arid and Mediterranean climates of different parts of Iran were collected and the content of glycyrrhizic acid was determined using HPLC. The results showed that contents of gl...

This study investigates the comparative anti-diabetic activity of glycyrrhizic acid and gymnemic acid on non-insulin dependent diabetic models i.e. oral glucose tolerance (OGTT), adrenalin and dexamethasone induced diabetes. Glycyrrhizic acid and gymnemic acid were isolated from crude extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra and Gymnema sylvestre and authenticated by co -TLC with standard. Invivo antidiab...

objective: this study aimed to evaluate a co-encapsulated pegylated nano-liposome system based on two herbal anti-tumor drugs, silibinin and glycyrrhizic acid, for delivery to a hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) cell line (hepg2). materials and methods: in this experimental study, co-encapsulated nano-liposomes by the thin layer film hydration method with hepes buffer and sonication at 60% amplitu...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate a co-encapsulated pegylated nano-liposome system based on two herbal anti-tumor drugs, silibinin and glycyrrhizic acid, for delivery to a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line (HepG2). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, co-encapsulated nano-liposomes by the thin layer film hydration method with HEPES buffer and sonication at 60% amplitu...

Alcohol-free licorice beverages contain glycyrrhizic acid. Excess glycyrrhizic acid is a well-known cause of excess mineralocorticoid syndrome. We report a case of glycyrrhizic acid poisoning in an abstinent alcoholic complicated by severe pulmonary edema following excessive hydration with intravenous normal saline.

A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was established for the simultaneous determination of 12, 13-dihydroxyeuparin and glycyrrhizic acid in Yanyanfang mixture. A Grace Apollo C18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) was used as the stationary phase and the mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile and aqueous phosphoric acid (0.2%, v/v). Gradient elution was carried out...

Shaoyao-Gancao (Paeoniae Radix Alba and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) is a traditional Chinese drug pair widely used in decoctions for relieving pains, especially abdominal pain. We aimed to determine the intestinal absorption and interaction of three active compounds (glycyrrhizic acid, liquiritin, and paeoniflorin) in this drug pair. We investigated the transport of these compounds across in...

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...
