Biological Activity

Description Ammonium Glycyrrhizinate (AMGZ, Glycyram, Glycyrrhizin ammonium salt, Glycyrrhizic acid ammonium salt) is a unique product from Licorice root with a very high sweetness. Ammonium glycyrrhizinate is a direct inhibitor of HMGB1 with anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-diabetic activities. Ammonium Glycyrrhizinate inhibits growth and cytopathology of several unrelated DNA and RNA viruses. Ammonium Glycyrrhizinate also inhibits both hepatic delta 4-5-reductase and 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
Targets
11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases [1]
In vitro Ammonium glycyrrhizinate (AG) prepared from glycyrrhizin dramatically protects AGS cells from H(2)O(2)-induced damage as measured by the integrity of actin cytoskeleton. AG also inhibits FeSO(4)-induced reactive oxygen radicals in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting the role for AG as a free radical scavenger. [1]
In vivo Ammonium glycyrrhizinate (28 mg/kg) leads to changes in the activity of some enzymes in the brain, the development of parenchymatous dystrophy of the liver which changed to acidophilic necrosis attended with signs of regeneration in mice and rats model. [2] Ammonium glycyrrhizinate-loaded nonionic surfactant vesicles (NSVs) decreases edema and nociceptive responses when compared with Ammonium glycyrrhizinate alone and empty NSVs in mice model. [3] Ammonium glycyrrhizinate up-regulates interleukin-10 (IL-10) level and down-regulates the tumor neurosis factor-α (TNF-α) level and inhibits the cyclic adenosine monophosphate-phosphodiesterase (cAMP-PDE) activity in the lung tissue of mice. Ammonium glycyrrhizinate -loaded non-ionic surfactant vesicles shows no toxicity, good skin tolerability and are able to improve the drug anti-inflammatory activity in mice. [4] Ammonium glycyrrhizinate significantly decreases triglyceride, cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels in rats. Ammonium glycyrrhizinate increases high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels increased in rats. [5]
