Product Description
Licoricesaponin G2 is a pentacyclic triterpenoid extracted from Glycyrrhiza aspera.
Licoricesaponin G2 (CAS#: 118441-84-2) is a pentacyclic triterpenoid saponin that is isolated from the roots of Glycyrrhiza species, including Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Glycyrrhiza inflata, and Glycyrrhiza aspera. It is an oleanane-type triterpene oligoglycoside that belongs to the class of triterpenoid saponins. Licoricesaponin G2 is one of the many saponins found in licorice root, which is a widely used medicinal plant in traditional medicine. The compound has been studied for its potential biological activities, but its specific pharmacological properties and mechanisms of action have not been extensively characterized. Licoricesaponin G2 is a research compound that is used to study the chemical composition and biological activities of licorice saponins.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The specific molecular targets of Licoricesaponin G2 have not been well-characterized. As a triterpenoid saponin, it may interact with cell membranes, affecting membrane fluidity and permeability, and may modulate various cellular signaling pathways. Saponins are known for their ability to form complexes with cholesterol and other membrane components, which can affect cell membrane integrity and function. Licoricesaponin G2 may also have immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, or antioxidant activities, as other licorice saponins have been shown to possess these properties. However, specific studies on the molecular targets of Licoricesaponin G2 are lacking.
ln Vitro
In vitro, the biological activities of Licoricesaponin G2 have not been extensively studied. As a saponin, it may have hemolytic activity, which is a common property of saponins due to their interaction with cell membranes. It may also have cytotoxic activity against cancer cell lines, similar to other licorice saponins. However, specific data on Licoricesaponin G2's in vitro activity are not available in the published literature.
ln Vivo
In vivo, the biological activities of Licoricesaponin G2 have not been extensively studied. As a saponin, it may have low oral bioavailability due to its glycosidic structure and high molecular weight. The compound may be metabolized in the gut by intestinal bacteria to release the aglycone, which may be the active metabolite. However, specific in vivo studies on Licoricesaponin G2 are lacking in the available literature.
Enzyme Assay
The non-cellular assay for Licoricesaponin G2 would likely involve the measurement of its hemolytic activity or its interaction with membranes. In a hemolytic assay, red blood cells are incubated with Licoricesaponin G2 at various concentrations, and the release of hemoglobin is measured spectrophotometrically. The compound's hemolytic activity is compared to that of a positive control (such as Triton X-100). However, specific protocols for Licoricesaponin G2 have not been reported.
Cell Assay
The cellular assay for Licoricesaponin G2 would involve treating cultured cells with the compound and measuring its effects on cell viability, membrane integrity, or other cellular functions. However, specific protocols and data for Licoricesaponin G2 have not been reported in the available literature.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Licoricesaponin G2 have not been reported in the available literature. As a research compound, it may be studied in models of inflammation, cancer, or other diseases, but specific protocols and findings are lacking.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Licoricesaponin G2 has a molecular weight of 838.93 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₄₂H₆₂O₁₇. The compound is a triterpenoid saponin with high molecular weight and polar glycosidic groups, which contribute to its hydrophilic character. It is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. The compound should be stored at 2-8°C, protected from light and moisture, and is stable for up to 24 months when stored properly.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicological profile of Licoricesaponin G2 has not been extensively characterized. As a saponin, it may have hemolytic activity and can cause gastrointestinal disturbances at high doses. The compound should be handled with appropriate laboratory safety precautions.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
