Liquiritigenin

4H-1-Benzopyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-7-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-, (2S)-

C15H12O4 (256.0736)


Liquiritigenin is a dihydroxyflavanone compound having the two hydroxy substituents at the 4- and 7-positions. Isolated from the root of Glycyrrhizae uralensis, it is a selective agonist for oestrogen receptor beta. It has a role as a hormone agonist and a plant metabolite. 5-deoxyflavanone is a solid. This compound belongs to the flavanones. These are compounds containing a flavan-3-one moiety, whose structure is characterized by a 2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran bearing a ketone at the carbon C3. MF101 is a novel estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) selective agonist and unlike currently available hormone therapies, does not activate the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), known to be implicated in tumor formation. MF101 is an oral drug designed for the treatment of hot flashes and night sweats in peri-menopausal and menopausal women. Liquiritigenin is a natural product found in Dracaena draco, Pterocarpus marsupium, and other organisms with data available. See also: Glycyrrhiza Glabra (part of); Glycyrrhiza uralensis Root (part of); Pterocarpus marsupium wood (part of). Isolated from Glycyrrhiza, Medicago, Myroxylon, Cicer and all Leguminosae subspecies Several glycosides, particularly the rutinoside and neohesperidoside, are important in influencing citrus fruit flavour [DFC]. Liquiritigenin is found in many foods, some of which are sorrel, roselle, pepper (c. annuum), and black crowberry. Liquiritigenin is found in alfalfa.

4,7-dihydroxyflavanone is a dihydroxyflavanone in which the two hydroxy substituents are located at positions 4 and 7. It has a role as a Brassica napus metabolite and a fungal xenobiotic metabolite. It is a dihydroxyflavanone, a polyphenol and a member of 4-hydroxyflavanones. It is functionally related to a flavanone. 4H-1-Benzopyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-7-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)- is a natural product found in Pterocarpus marsupium, Pterocarpus macrocarpus, and other organisms with data available. A dihydroxyflavanone in which the two hydroxy substituents are located at positions 4 and 7. (±)-Liquiritigenin ((±)-4',7-Dihydroxyflavanone) is isolated from Angelica keiskei, a hardy perennial herb of the Umbelliferae family. (±)-Liquiritigenin promotes cell proliferation, has cytoprotective activity and reduces cytotoxicity, and also has antioxidant stress effects[1].
