liquiritigenin

Liquiritigenin (4',7-Dihydroxyflavanone), a flavonoid aglycone from licorice, is a highly selective estrogen receptor β (ERβ) agonist.

(±)-Liquiritigenin ((±)-4',7-Dihydroxyflavanone), a flavonoid extracted from Angelica keiskei, inhibits the calcium-activated chloride channel TMEM16A.(±)-Liquiritigenin induces an increase in apoptosis and an enhancement of caspase3 activity. (±)-Liquiritigenin induces increased apoptosis and enhanced caspase3 activity. (±)-Liquiritigenin is used in breast cancer research.

Liquiritigenin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-apiofuranoside, a flavonoid extracted from Glycyrrhiza roots, exhibits lower cytotoxic effects on a variety of tumor and normal cells.

Isoliquiritigenin (ISL), an anti-tumor flavonoid from the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra, suppresses aldose reductase (IC50=320 nM).

Liquiritin (Liquiritigenin-4'-O-glucoside) (LIQ) is a main component among the licorice flavonoids, and possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer abilities.

2'-O-Methylisoliquiritigenin, a compound synthesized by enzymes specifically induced in NR.2'-O-Methylisoliquiritigenin, isolated from the Arachis species, up-regulates 5-HT, NE, DA and GABA pathways, but does not put a very significant effect on ne NE pathway.
