Description
(extracted from source data)
DESCRIPTION
Liquiritigenin is a bioactive natural flavonoid present in the root of Glycyrrhizae uralensis Fisch (a type of Chinese liquorice) . We show the structure with (2S) stereochemistry.
The compound has reports of anticancer and anti-inflammatory actions, of providing protection from renal and hepatic injury , and behaving as a selective estrogen receptor β agonist . The tissue-protective effects appear to center on activation of nuclear erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) signalling that induces expression of antioxidant enzymes . (GtoPdb)
