Enoxolone
"For pharmaceutical use, Alchem offers Enoxolone with all its inherent benefits"Glycyrrhiza glabra, also known as licorice and sweetwood, is native to the Mediterranean and certain areas of Asia. The primary antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds found in Licorice Root are the glycosides - glycyrrhizin and glycyrrizinic acid, flavonoids, and saponins. Glycyrrhizin, a triterpenoid compound, accounts for the sweet taste of licorice root. This compound represents a mixture of potassium-calcium-magnesium salts of glycyrrhizic acid that varies within a 2-25 percent range. Enoxolone is a pentacyclic triterpenoid derivative of the beta-amyrin type obtained from the hydrolysis of glycyrrhizic acid. It has antioxidant, expectorant, antitussive, antiulcer, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, anti- antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiprotozoal properties.
