General description
Liquiritigenin is a flavonoid and an estrogenic compound found in licorice (Glycyrrhizae radix) root extract and several other plants.
Application
Liquiritigenin has been used:
- to study its inhibitory effect on tumor metastasis in the treatment of colorectal cancer
- as a reference standard for ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) of Chaihu-Shugan-San (CSS) extract
- as a potential antiviral drug against hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection
Biochem/physiol Actions
Liquiritigenin displays anti-diabetic and choleretic properties. It exerts anti-inflammatory activity on Raw246.7 cells by inhibiting nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB)-dependent-induction of inducible NOS (iNOS). Liquiritigenin inhibits liver fibrogenesis by blocking Hippo/Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/small mothers against decapentaplegic (Smad) components. It is a selective estrogen receptor β agonist cells. Liquiritigenin induces apoptosis in SMM-721 cells by disruption of the mitochondrial membrane potential and increased production of reactive oxygen species.
