The Pharmacological Activities of Glycyrrhizinic Acid (“Glycyrrhizin”) and Glycyrrhetinic Acid

Glycyrrhizin or, more correctly, Glycyrrhizinic acid is a triterpenoid saponin obtained from the root and rhizome extracts of Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), being commonly used as a sweetener, being reported as – at least – 30 times sweeter than sucrose. This natural product, along with its aglycone...

description Glycyrrhizin or, more correctly, Glycyrrhizinic acid is a triterpenoid saponin obtained from the root and rhizome extracts of Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), being commonly used as a sweetener, being reported as – at least – 30 times sweeter than sucrose. This natural product, along with its aglycone glycyrrhetinic acid, is known in the literature for its several pharmacological and biological activities. This chapter summarizes the activities reported in the literature for the saponin and its aglycone since 2010.
