Glycyrrhizic Acid (also known as Glizigen; Liquorice; Glycyrrhizin), a naturally occurring triterpenoid saponin analog found in the licorice root, is a widely used anti-inflammatory agent but also has anticancer activities. Glycyrrhizic acid is responsible for the sweet taste of Glycyrrhiza glabra (liquorice) root. Structurally it is a saponin and has been used as an emulsifier and gel-forming agent in foodstuff and cosmetics. Its aglycone is enoxolone and it has therefore been used as a prodrug for that compound, for example it is used in Japan to prevent liver carcinogenesis in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
ln Vitro |
Glycyrrhizic acid functions as a drug delivery system and exhibits a number of anti-cancer-related pharmacological activities, including resistance to tissue toxicity brought on by radiation and chemotherapy, broad-spectrum anti-cancer ability, and anti-multidrug resistance (MDR) mechanism. transportable substance[1]. Glycyrrhizic acid significantly raised calcium levels and stimulated GLP-1 production in intestinal GLP-1-secreting NCI-H716 cells. Through TGR5 activation, glycyrrhizic acid can increase GLP-1 secretion[2]. At 37°C, glycyrrhizic acid can produce stable, transparent low molecular weight hydrogels (LMWHs) with nanoclusters as the microstructure in physiological phosphate buffer saline (PBS) [4].

ln Vivo |
Glycyrrhizic acid elevated plasma GLP-1 levels in streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic rats (STZ-treated rats), while triamterene was sufficient to inhibit Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) was blocked [1]. In mice, glycyrrhizic acid (50 mg/kg, ip) dramatically lowers TgAb, HMGB1, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β levels [3].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
Calculation results
Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
