Bioactivity | Isoliquiritigenin is an anti-tumor flavonoid from the root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., which inhibits aldose reductase with an IC50 of 320 nM. Isoliquiritigenin is a potent inhibitor of influenza virus replication with an EC50 of 24.7 μM. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Isoliquiritigenin may prevent diabetic complications through inhibiting rat lens aldose reductase with an IC50 of 320 nM and sorbitol accumulation in human red blood cells with an IC50 of 2.0 μM[1]. Isoliquiritigenin (100 μM) markedly inhibits the hypoxia-induced prolonged TPS and TR90 of cardiomyocytes. Isoliquiritigenin significantly triggers AMPK Thr172 phosphorylation as compared with vehicle group. Isoliquiritigenin treatment also induces extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway in the cardiomyocytes. Isoliquiritigenin treatment significantly decreases the intracellular ROS levels of isolated cardiomyocytes during hypoxia/reoxygenation[3]. Isoliquiritigenin not only downregulates IL-6 expression but also significantly decreases levels of phosphorylated ERK and STAT3 and can inhibit phosphorylation levels of ERK and STAT3 induced by recombinant human IL-6, which are critical signaling proteins in IL-6 signaling regulation networks[4]. | ||||||||||||
