Arbuscular mycorrhiza facilitates the accumulation of
glycyrrhizin and liquiritin in Glycyrrhiza uralensis under drought stress.
(82) The major active constituent obtained from licorice is
glycyrrhizin, a triterpene isolated from the herb's root and rhizome.
GmbH, Germany), are able to provide as much as an entire day's supply of the vital drug, augmenting the therapeutic effects of Taxol with a bioenhancer (piperine, but also
glycyrrhizin) thus benefits patients and protects precious natural resources, both (5).
The root contains a compound called
glycyrrhizin and it prevents potassium absorption so potassium levels may drop below normal levels (I also chewed liquorice root as a child).
Liquiritin, Liquiritin apioside, and
Glycyrrhizin from Glycyrrhizae Radix were used, which is an effective detoxifying agent, presenting neuroprotective effect, antiviral activity, and anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antibiosis effects [13].

glycyrrhizin is therapeutic for Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis," Journal of Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, vol.
Glycyrrhizin (GL) is the major bioactive compound of licorice and has been suggested to have various anti-inflammatory effects such as prevention of hepatic lipotoxicity, chronic hepatitis C, and lipopolysaccharide(LPS-) induced inflammation [14-16].
In the manufacturing process, KRT has been standardized with quantification of marker compounds including
glycyrrhizin, berberine, and paeoniflorin and with specification levels for impurities such as heavy metal, pesticides, phytotoxins, and bacterial contamination under modern quality control.
One of the most active compounds of liquorice is the triterpenoid glycyrrhizic acid (
glycyrrhizin, GZ) and the main product of its metabolism: the aglycone 18-[beta]-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) [5, 6].
Second, it contains licorice root, which is a source of
glycyrrhizin. Your body turns this into glycyrrhetinic acid in the intestines, where it slows the cortisol breakdown process.
