Concerned with ambiguous stereochemistry assignment of natural (+)-glabridin, absolute configurations of (${\pm}$)-glabridin enantiomers were studied with synthetic glabridin. Synthetic glabridin enantiomers were separated by semi-preparative Sumi-chiral column chromatography, and characterized by UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopy. Three-dimensional molecular structure of glabridin was obtained as equatorial Ph-3 half chair chroman ring from semi-empirical PM3 calculation, and refined by coupling constants in $^1H$ NMR spectrum. Finally, absolute configurations of two enantiomers were determined by circular dichroism spectroscopy based on the empirical helicity rules. Absolute configuration of natural (+)-glabridin was confirmed as (R)-glabridin, as known.

피부미백효과 및 항산화물질로 알려진 glabridin은 감초뿌리 (Glycyrrhiza glabra)에 포함되어 있는 성분으로서 추출 및 HPLC에 의한 분리에 관한 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 용매에 따른 추출정도를 알기위하여 메탄올, 에탄올, 에틸아세테이트 및 아세톤 등 4가지 용매로 1시간동안 초음파 추출하여 HPLC에서 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 에틸아세테이트의 추출용매가 1260.0 mg/kg으로 가장 함량이 높았으며, 에탄올, 메탄올, 아세톤 순으로 나타났다. HPLC의 역상 컬럼에서 이동상의 조성을 아세토나이트릴/물 (50/50, vol. %)으로 사용했을 때 체류시간은 20.3분이였으며, 에틸아세테이트로 추출한 시험용액을 LC/MS로 확인하였다.

The extraction and separation of glabridin from licorice root by HPLC was performed in this work. First, by investigating the different extraction solvents, extraction methods and extraction times, a one-hour ultrasonic extraction procedure with ethyl acetate as the extraction solvent was optimized. Then the ethyl acetate extraction was applied to RP-HPLC for separation of glabridin. The column efficiencies and resolutions were experimentally investigated with different mobile phase compositions. Baseline separation of glabridin was obtained under the mobile phase composition of 50/50 vol.% (ACN/water). The retention time of glabridin was 20.3 min. The peak of glabridin was collected from the HPLC elution for several times and identified by LC/MS. Under the optimum extraction and HPLC separation methods, 1.26 g of glabridin per kg licorice root could be extracted.

Glycyrrhiza glabra is a well-known medicinal herb that grows in various parts of the world and glabridin is a major chemical compound that is found in the root extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra. Glabridin is a natural compound known to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-atherogenic, anti-osteoporotic and skin-whitening. In this study, we investigated if glabridin inhibited platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. We observed that glabridin inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation and suppressed signal transduction molecules such as phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI₃K), Akt, glycogen synthase kinase-3α/β (GSK-3α/β), SYK, cytosolic phospholipase A₂, and p38 expression. In addition, glabridin suppressed thromboxane A₂ generation and thrombin-induced clot retraction. Taken together, glabridin showed strong antiplatelet effects and may be used to block thrombosis- and platelet-mediated cardiovascular diseases.

역상고성능액상크로마토그래피(RP-HPLC)를사용하여감초에포함된 liquiritin (LQ), glycyrrhizic acid (GA)과 glabridin을 분석하였다. 이동상의 조성에 대한 실험을 수행한 실험결과에 의하면, 최적화된 이동상은 메탄올-물 이성분계이다. 이동상의 유량은 1 mL/min으로 일정하였고, 초기 8분동안에 35/65 (MeOH/water, v/v%)에서 80/20으로 구배용매조성법을 적용하였고, 그 이후에는 80/20으로 유지하였다. LQ과 GA의 농도는 0.2 mg/mL에서 1.0 mg/mL까지, glabridin의 농도는 0.01 mg/mL에서 0.2 mg/mL의 범위에서 선형성을 보였고, 상대 표준편차는 0.90%(n=5) 보다 낮았다. 개발된 방법을 사용하여 감초에 포함된위의세가지성분의정량분석을성공적으로수행하였다. 평균수율은 LQ가 80.79%, GA가 89.71%, glabridin이 72.50%이었다.

초임계 이산화탄소를 이용해 감초 내의 glabridin을 추출하기 위하여 1 mL/min의 일정 유속으로 추출온도, 추출압력 및 보조용매의 종류와 첨가량이 추출효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 순수한 초임계 이산화탄소만을 이용하여 추출을 수행한 경우 $16\%$의 매우 낮은 회수율이 얻어졌으나, 보조용매로 $100\%$ ethanol과 acetone을 $10\%$의 농도로 첨가한 경우 $4{\sim}5.5$배 향상된 회수율을 얻을 수 있었다. 보조용매로 ethanol을 사용한 경우에는 추출온도가 감소할수록, 추출압력이 증가할수록 회수율이 증가하였고, acetone의 경우에는 추출압력이 증가함에 따라 회수율이 증가하였으나, $60^{\circ}C$의 추출온도에서 가장 높은 회수율을 얻을 수 있었다. 두 보조용매의 경우 모두 50 MPa의 추출압력 조건에서는 회수율이 떨어지는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 acetone을 $25\%$의 농도로 첨가한 경우 $94.3\%$의 최고 회수율이 얻어졌으며, 30분 이내에 최고 회수율에 도달함을 확인하였다. 초임계 이산화탄소에 대한 보조용매로 ethanol과 acetone을 사용하여 최적의 glabridin 추출조건을 조사한 결과, ethanol은 30 MPa, $40^{\circ}C,\;25\%$의 보조용매 농도에서, acetone의 경우에는 30 MPa, $60^{\circ}C,\;25\%$의 농도조건에서 각각 $96.5\%$와 $94.3\%$의 최고 회수율을 얻을 수 있었으며, 유기용매 추출에 비해 $2{\sim}3$배 높은 glabridin 순도를 얻을 수 있었다.

Glabridin, a compound of the flavonoid, has shown outstanding skin-whitening and anti-aging properties, but its water insolubility limits its wide application. Therefore, glabridin liposome (GL) has been developed to improve its poor bioavailability, while there are few studies to evaluate its amelioration of UVB- induced photoaging. This study is performed to investigate the amelioration of GL against UVB- induced cutaneous photoaging. The prepared GL has a spheroidal morphology with an average diameter of 200 nm. The GL shows lower cytotoxicity than glabridin, but it has a more effective role in inhibition of melanin. Moreover, the application of GL can effectively relieve UV radiation induced erythema and leathery skin, associated with the down-regulated expression of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10). Taken together, these results demonstrate that GL has potentials as topical therapeutic agents against UVB radiation induced skin damage through inhibiting inflammation.

Glabridin is a well-known active isoflavone found in the root of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) that possess a wide range of biological activity. Plant cells, hairy roots, and fungal endophytes cultures are the most important alternative methods for plant resources conservation and sustainable production of natural compounds, which has received much attention in recent decades. In the present study, an efficient culture condition was optimized for the biomass accumulation and glabridin production from fungal endophyte Aspergillus eucalypticola SBU-11AE isolated from licorice root. Type of culture medium, range of pH, and licorice root extract (as an elicitor) were tested. The results showed that the highest and lowest biomass production was observed on PCB medium (6.43 ± 0.32 g/l) and peptone malt (5.85 + 0.11 g/l), respectively. The medium culture PCB was produced the highest level of glabridin (7.26 ± 0.44 mg/l), while the lowest level (4.47 ± 0.02 mg/l) was obtained from the medium peptone malt. The highest biomass (8.51 ± 0.43 g/l) and glabridin (8.30 ± 0.51 mg/l) production were observed from the PCB medium adjusted with pH = 6, while the lowest value of both traits was obtained from the same medium with pH = 7. The highest production of total glabridin (10.85 ± 0.84 mg/l) was also obtained from the culture medium treated with 100 mg/l of the plant root extract. This information can be interestingly used for the commercialization of glabridin production for further industrial applications.

Demand for a new anti-malarial drug has been dramatically increasing in the recent years. Plasmodium falciparum enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (PfENR) plays a vital role in fatty acid elongation process, which now emerged as a new important target for the development of anti-microbial and anti-parasitic molecules. In the present study, 19 compounds namely alginic acid, atropine, chlorogenic acid, chrotacumine A & B, coenzyme $Q_1$, 4-coumaric acid, curcumin, ellagic acid, embelin, 5-O-methyl embelin, eugenyl glucoside, glabridin, hyoscyamine, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, rohitukine, scopolamine, tlatlancuayin and ursolic acid were evaluated on their docking behaviour on P. falciparum enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (PfENR) using Auto dock 4.2. The docking studies and binding free energy calculations exhibited that glabridin gave the highest binding energy (-8.07 kcal/mol) and 4-coumaric acid in contrast showed the least binding energy (-4.83 kcal/mol). All ligands except alginic acid, ellagic acid, hyoscyamine and glabridin interacted with Gln409 amino acid residue. Interestingly four ligands namely coenzyme $Q_1$, 4-coumaric acid, embelin and 5-O-methyl embelin interacted with Gln409 amino acid residue present in both chains (A & B) of PfENR protein. Thus, the results of this present study exhibited the potential of these 19 ligands as P. falciparum enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (PfENR) inhibitory agents and also as anti-malarial agents.
