Description:18-alpha-Glycyrrhetinic acid is an anti-inflammatory compound, which is a triterpenoid derivative sourced from the root of the licorice plant, Glycyrrhiza glabra. It exhibits its mode of action by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2), which converts active glucocorticoids to their inactive forms. This inhibition leads to increased local concentrations of glucocorticoids, thereby enhancing their anti-inflammatory effects at the application site.
