摘要: Plants have always been an important source of medicines for humans, and licorice
is a very significant herb in the development of humans. As a traditional herb, it is
widely cultivated in China, Japan, Russia, Spain and India. With the development of organic
chemistry and biochemistry, various chemical ingredients extracted from licorice have been
studied and identified. Among them, many chemical components were considered to have
strong pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, antibacterial, anticancer
and so on. Based on those reports, licorice has attracted the attention of many researchers
in recent years, and they are devoted to discovering the active ingredients and
mechanism of action of active compounds. Licorice flavonoids are one of the main extracts
of licorice root and stem and have many potential biological properties. This paper aims to
summarize the four kinds of licorice flavonoids, including liquiritigenin, isoliquiritigenin,
licochalcone (including licochalcone A and licochalcone B) and glabridin, about their biological
activities of anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial.
