In vitro study | Liquiritin can target the residues Ala-27, Val-29, Ala-25, and Asn-56 of AKR1C1. Liquiritin (50 μM; 6 hours) results in 85.00% of reduction in progesterone metabolism, which is mediated by Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C1 (AKR1C1) enzymatic activity in HEC-1-B cells. Liquiritin (100 µM) increases glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase expression on B65 neuroblastoma cells. |

white crystalline powder, sweetness is about 200 times of sucrose. Sweet later, but stay sweet for a long time. A small amount of glycyrrhizin and sucrose sharing can be less than 20% sucrose and sweetness unchanged. Glycyrrhizin has no aroma but has the function of flavoring. Its aqueous solution is weakly acidic. Difficult to dissolve in cold water, soluble in hot water, insoluble in oil, the hot water solution after cooling is viscous jelly.
glycyrrhizin can be extracted from licorice.
can be used as a sweetener, a flavoring agent, and a flavor enhancer.
traits | white powder |
use | when used as a sweet improver or enhancer, it is generally mixed with other sweeteners. liquiritin has anti-ulcer and anti-AIDS effects. used for content determination/identification/pharmacological experiment, etc. Pharmacological effects: anti-ulcer, anti-HIV and other effects. |
Biological activity | Liquiritin is a flavonoid isolated from licorice. It is an effective and competitive AKR1C1 inhibitor. The IC50 for AKR1C1,AKR1C2 and AKR1C3 are 0.62 μM,0.61 μM and 3.72 μM respectively. Liquiritin effectively inhibits AKR1C1 mediated progesterone metabolism in vivo. Liquiritin is an antioxidant with neuroprotective, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities. |
