Description

Glycyrrhizin is a natural triterpenoid and the main active ingredient of licorice. In humans, the main side effects are increasing blood pressure (hypertension) and of enhancing the risk of hypokalemia-induced disorders, i.e. caused by low potassium levels in blood (Omar, 2012). Used as a flavouring agent, glycyrrhizin is the triterpenoid compound behind the sweet taste of licorice. Glycyrrhizin is naturally present at concentrations up to 25% in the roots of the Glycyrrhiza glabra. In mice, rats, and human cancer cell lines, glycyrrhizin is an antioxidant and a DNA-protective agent with additional, multiple anticancer activities.
