Description of 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid

18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid is a bioactive triterpenoid mainly derived from Glycyrrhiza radix. 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid has various pharmacological activities such as anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory[1]. 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid can inhibit oxidative stress via activating Nrf-2 signaling[1].

18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid (8μM; 72h) inhibited cell growth in Human HSC cells[2]. 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid (4μg/mL; 24h) significantly reduced ROS (reactive oxygen species) production in fructose-treated HK2 cells[3]. 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid (50μM; 48h) decreased the cell viability in Caco-2 cells[4]. 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid (2μg/mL; 24h) increased the cell viability in mitomycin C-induced HFL-1 cells[1].

18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid (10mg/kg; 30d; q2d; i.p.) significantly decreased the expression of CD40 and MHC-II molecules in BALB/c mice[5]. 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid (12.5, 25 and 50mg/kg; 12 weeks; p.o.) alleviated fructose-induced renal injury in C57BL/6 mice[3].

Protocol of 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Human HSC cell line

Preparation Method

2×104 cells per well were seeded onto 24-well plates and incubated overnight. After starvation for 24h, the cells were subsequently stimulated with 10% FBS with or without the presence of 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid. The number of cells was determined by computer-equipped cell counter 72h after treated with 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid.

Reaction Conditions

8μM; 72h

Applications

18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid inhibited cell growth.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

BALB/c mice

Preparation Method

18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid solution was prepared in DMSO. A concentration of 10mg 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid per kilogram of each mouse was used to be intraperitoneally injected in test group every other day within 30 consecutive days. The mice in the control group were treated with 2% DMSO (equal to the test group) as a vehicle in PBS. The expression of co-stimulatory molecules CD40 and MHC-II on isolated dendritic cells from mice were investigated by flow cytometry.

Dosage form

10mg/kg; 30d; q2d; i.p.

Applications

18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid significantly decreased the expression of CD40 and MHC-II molecules.
