Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. High-risk Human Papilloma Virus (mostly type 16 & 18) infection is the primary risk factor for the development of cervical carcinoma. The quest for strong, safe and cost effective

Reactivation of latent or persistent human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection of monocytes or macrophages occurs under immunosuppressive conditions. We investigated the effect of glycyrrhizin (GL), cyclosporin A (CsA), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on the viral DNA synthesis and antigen

Glycyrrhizin and its aglycone, glycyrrhetic acid has been found useful for various therapeutic purposes. Glycyrrhizin has been shown to possess many physiological functions like anti-inflammatory activity, detoxification and inhibition of carcinogenic promoters. 12-O-Tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), a Mediterranean plant, has been used as an antidote, demulcent, and elixir folk medicine for generations in China. The main water-soluble constituent of licorice is glycyrrhizin (GL), which has been shown to possess several pharmacological properties. In this study, we

The effect of glycyrrhizin (GR), a Chinese herbal drug extracted from licorice roots, on the host resistance to tumors was investigated in a murine system. Administration of GR to BALB/c mice, which were inoculated s.c. with 1 x 10(6) cells/mouse of Meth A tumors, resulted in either no antitumor

The effects of glycyrrhizin (GL) and the derivatives of glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) on the activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) and the phosphorylation of cellular polypeptides by the kinase purified from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells had been investigated in vitro. It was found that (i)

Triple negative breast cancer(TNBC) has generated growing interests due to its aggressive biologic behavior and absence of targeted therapy approach. Glycyrrhizin(GL) from licorice root and its metabolite, glycyrrhetinic acid(GA) have shown extensive bioactivities in clinic. Here, we demonstrate

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is upregulated in nearly every tumor type. Importantly, clinical evidence also proposed that HMGB1 is particularly increased in metastatic prostate cancer patients. Besides, a growing number of studies highlighted that HMGB1 could be a successful therapeutic target

It is well known that all cell lines, normal as well as malignant, have a sensitivity to the growth inhibitory effect of IFN or IFN inducers. We speculated that the antiproliferative effects of the IFN inducer SNMC might help alleviate the uncomfortable side effects of cancer chemotherapeutic agent.

Several components isolated from Glycyrrhizae radix rhizome (GR), including glycyrrhizin, liquiritin, and liquiritigenin, have been shown to induce cancer cell death and inhibit cancer metastasis. Isoliquiritin apioside (ISLA), a component isolated from GR, has been effective for treating

The purpose of the present investigation was to investigate the drug targeting potential of glycyrrhizin (GL) conjugated dendrimers (GL-PPI) and multi walled carbon nanotubes (GL-MWCNTs) towards liver targeting of a model anti-cancer agent, doxorubicin (DOX). The synthesis was confirmed by FTIR,

To determine the transaminase-lowering action of glycyrrhizin (GL) immunologically, the effect of GL on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha- and Fas-mediated apoptosis was assessed using a human hepatoblastoma line, HepG2 cells. The HepG2 cells were resistant to TNF-alpha and anti-Fas antibody, but

The anti-cancer properties of liquorice have been attributed, at least in part, to glycyrrhizin (GL). However, GL is not directly absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. It is hydrolyzed to 18-β-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), the pharmacologically active metabolite, by human intestinal microflora.
