CAS 1449-05-4: 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid
Description:18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid is a triterpenoid compound derived from glycyrrhizin, which is found in the root of the licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza glabra). It is characterized by its pentacyclic structure, which includes a cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene core. This compound exhibits a range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and hepatoprotective properties, making it of interest in pharmacological research. It is often studied for its potential therapeutic effects in conditions such as liver diseases and viral infections. 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid is also known to inhibit the enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2, which can affect cortisol metabolism and has implications for conditions related to steroid hormone regulation. In terms of solubility, it is generally more soluble in organic solvents than in water, which can influence its bioavailability and application in formulations. Overall, its diverse biological activities and natural origin contribute to its significance in both traditional medicine and modern pharmacology.
