Biological Activity

Isoliquiritigenin(ILTG), a flavonoid constituent in the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra, has vasorelaxant effect, anti-platelet, anti-allergic and antiviral activities, also has protective effects in transient middle cerebral artery occlusion-induced focal cerebral ischemia in rats.[1]
Insampaedoksan is a traditional herbal medicine used for antipyretic and antiinflammatory diseases, thus, it has bioactivity effects such as antioxidant, estrogenic and anticancer. [2]
Isoliquiritigenin significantly inhibits the proliferation of prostate and lung cancer cell lines in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner, suggests that it is a candidate agent for the treatment of prostate态lung cancer and GADD153 may play an important role in isoliquiritigenin-induced cell cycle arrest and cell growth inhibition.[3,4]
Isoliquiritigenin inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of U87 human glioma cells in vitro, through cell cycle arrest and the caspase-mediated apoptosis pathway by regulating the expression of specific molecules.[5]
Isoliquiritigenin can inhibit IκB kinase activity and ROS generation to block TNF-α induced expression of cell adhesion molecules on human endothelial cells, these results have important implications for using ILTG or its derivatives towards the development of effective anti-inflammatory molecules.[6]
Isoliquiritigenin has the anti-inflammatory properties,   caused by iNOS, COX-2, TNF-α, and IL-6 down-regulation due to NF-κB inhibition via the suppression of IKK, ERK1/2 and p38 phosphorylation in RAW 264.7 cells.[7]
Isoliquiritigenin has the ability to protect cells from AA+iron-induced H2O2 production and mitochondrial dysfunction, which is mediated with GSK3β phosphorylation downstream of AMPK.[8]
