| The main constituent of Licorice is the potassium salt of glycyrrhizinic
acid (Glycyrrhizinate), a triterpenoid saponin glycoside obtained from the root
extract of licorice. This molecule has been well known for centuries, in
traditional medicine, for its anti-inflammatory efficacy. Upon hydrolysis, the
glycoside is converted to the aglycone glycyrrhetinic acid. Glycyrrhetinic acid
has also been reported to possess anti-inflammatory properties. It is believed
to inhibit the enzymes that metabolize the prostaglandins, PGE2 and PGF2, to
their inactive metabolites. Glycyrrhizinate possesses antiviral properties. It
has been reported to promote the activation of interferon and to inhibit the
growth of several DNA and RNA viruses. It inactivates Herpes simplex virus
particles irreversibly. Glycyrrhizinate’s antiviral activity is attributed to
its ability to interact with the protein structure of the virus and interfere
with its cycle. It inhibits the cytopathic growth and activity of the virus,
thus preventing it from attacking healthy cells. Glycyrrhizinate augments host
resistance against Candida albicans, in subjects with thermal
injuries. |
