Plant properties

 

  • Increases the secretion of gastric mucus and decreases that of pepsinogens, gastric anti-ulcer [1] , preventive and curative role vis-à-vis gastric ulcers, inhibits the adhesion of Helicobacter pylori to the gastric wall ( polysaccharides ) [2 ]

  • Immunostimulant, increases phagocytosis, stimulates the production of T and B lymphocytes [6]
  • Mineralocorticoid effects [7] and potentiation of corticosteroids (inhibition of 4.5 b-reductase responsible for the inactivation of steroid hormones), glycyrrhizin inhibits renal 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-2 (= 11β-HSD2) and thus inhibits the conversion of cortisol into cortisone [8] , leading to water retention and hyperaldosteronism, arterial hypertension, hypernatremia, hypokalaemia, inhibition of the effects of cortisol (?), stimulation of melanogenesis (by glycyrrhetinic acids) genin, l ' glycyrrhetinic acid ( 18-β-glycyrrhetinic acid ) or enoxolone is responsible for the side effects, stimulation of renin by the kidney [9]
  • Glycyrrhizic acid interferes with 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the conversion of androstenedione into testosterone, which would lead to a reduction in testosterone levels in men [10] as in women [11] , no effect found for salivary testosterone [12]
  • Adaptogen [13]
  • Memory stimulation [14] , [15] , by glabridin with anticholinergic effect (potential effect in Alzheimer's disease [16] , [17]
  • Neuroprotective ( glabridin [18] and isoliquiritigenin [19] , isoliquiritigenin possesses a protective effect against mitochondrial damage and neuronal death of hippocampal neurons induced by glutamate [20] , and it protects the dopaminergic neurons from oxidative stress by regulating apoptosis [21] , anticonvulsant [22]
  • Antidepressant [23]
  • Protects against LDL oxidation [24] , anti-atherogenic [25] , antioxidant ( formononetin , glabridin , hemileiocarpine , hispaglabridin B , isoliquiritigenin , 4'-O-methylglabridin , paratocarpin B ) [26]
  • Antihistamine [27]
  • Anti-inflammatory ( glycyrrhizin ) by inhibition of prostaglandin E2 production by macrophages [28]
  • Estrogenic effect: beta-sitosterol , stigmasterol , glabridin [29] , [30] , osteoblastic [31] and anti-osteoclastic effect [32]
  • Glycyrrhetic acid would stimulate the natural conversion of testosterone into estrogen
  • Glycyrrhizic acid interferes with 17ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone [33]
  • Antitumor activity (prostate cancer) by licochalcone [34] , anti-angiogenic, decreases VEGF production [35]
  • Hepatoprotector [36]
  • Nephroprotective ( glabridin ) [37]
  • Healing
  • Antibacterial [38] , antibacterial activity against methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by flavonoids ( licoricidin restores the effects of oxacillin) [39] , antifungal ( glabridin ) [40]
    • Specialty of glycyrrhetic acid = enoxolone (INN) local anti-inflammatory => anal pruritus, vulvar, solar erythema, seborrheic dermatitis
    • The sweetness of glycyrrhizin is 50 times greater than cane sugar
  • Antiviral activity against DNA viruses ( Herpes ) and RNA viruses ( HIV virus ) [41] , but beware, in vitro activity
  • In vitro inhibition of Helicobacter pylori strains with MIC of 50 to 400 mg/ml [42]
  • A Chinese mixture (PHY906 based on peony , skullcap flower , licorice , and Chinese dates), shows an anti-inflammatory effect, decreases the expression of TNF-alpha in the intestine, protects the mucosa from the toxic effects of chemotherapy to irinotecan and restores the integrity of the epithelium [43]

 

Bud properties

 

Properties of essential oil

 

Directions

 

Indications of the whole plant (phytotherapy)

 

  • Gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcer due to Helicobacter pylori
  • Angina, chronic bronchitis, asthma
  • Lichen planus [44] , [45]
  • Sun protection and vis-à-vis the stress of high mountains (mountain sickness) or water deprivation during hot weather
  • Adrenal insufficiency
  • Indications for corticosteroids, over a short period of time, relay of corticosteroids

Indications of the bud (gemmotherapy)

 

Specific indications of essential oil (aromatherapy)

 

Known or suspected mode of action

 

  • Mineralocorticoid effects by pseudo-hyperaldosteronism, causes a decrease in aldosterone and renin by interaction with 11-beta-OH-steroid dehydrogenase (monoglycuronide of glycyrrhetinic acids lowers it)
  • Enoxolone is a topical steroid-like anti-inflammatory

 

Usual formulations

 

Regulations

 

 

Possible side effects and precautions for use

 

  • Pharmacokinetic interactions:
    • Glycyrrhizin appears to be an inhibitor of CYP2B6 and 3A4 and PgP (conflicting studies)
  • Pharmacodynamic interactions:
    • Glycyrrhizin causes arterial hypertension and edema by sodium retention (pseudo-hyperaldosteronism), hypokalaemia, disorders of muscle contractility, cardiac abnormalities, hyperaldosteronism (sodium, chloride, water retention, increased potassium excretion, decreased diuresis)
    • Glycyrrhizin intoxication leads to primary pseudo-hyperaldosteronism. Glycyrrhizin has no direct mineralocorticoid activity (affinity for mineralocorticoid receptors, 10 thousand times lower than that of aldosterone). It exerts its toxicity through enzymatic inhibition of 11-ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Cortisol, which cannot then be converted into cortisone at the renal level, binds to mineralocorticoid receptors reproducing the symptoms of hyperaldosteronism (renal elimination of potassium and water-sodium retention) while there is an overall braking of the renin-angiotensin system -plasma aldosterone [48]
    • Avoid association with:
      • Digitalis (increased sensitivity)
      • Diuretics and stimulant laxatives (risk of hypokalaemia)
      • Corticosteroids (additive effect, worsening of hypokalaemia)
      • Oral contraceptives (increased effects of glycyrrhizin )
      • Antihypertensives (modification of effect)
      • Omeprazole (decrease in plasma concentrations)
    • Avoid the use of licorice in hormone-dependent cancers because of its estrogenic properties
  • Licorice is used in the composition of "Soshiho-tang", a preparation of traditional Chinese or Japanese medicine plants, with good tolerance (with Bupleurum falcatum , Pinellia ternate , Scutellaria baicalensis , Zizyphus jujuba , Panax ginseng , Glycyrrhiza uralensis , Zingiber officinale ) [49]
