Overview | light licorice, also known as light fruit licorice, is the main active ingredient of legume light licorice root. It is light yellow powder, insoluble in water, soluble in methanol, ethanol and ether. Modern research shows that the light of the licorice has a variety of pharmacological activities, such as scavenging superoxide ion, inhibiting tyrosinase and estrogen-like effects. However, there is no literature reported that the anti-cancer effect of light licorice has more prominent. |
effect | the inhibitory effect of glabridin on the proliferation of HepaRG and Caco2 cells may be related to the induction of apoptosis and G2/M arrest. |
biological activity | Glabrene is an isoflavone derived from the root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, which has estrogen-like activity. Glabrene is a tyrosinase inhibitor with an IC50 value of 3.5 μm. |
Target | IC50: 3.5 μm (Tyrosinase) |
