Glycyrrhetic acid polyglycosides were synthesized in one-pot via cationic ring-opening condensation polymerization of cyclic sulfite () initiated by glycyrrhetic acid as an aglycon. Sulfite worked as a practical monomer for the preparation of (1 → 2)-linked polysaccharide skeletons. The chemical stability of was evaluated by the comparison of thermodynamic parameters with those of conventional epoxide (). The grafting reaction of from glycyrrhetic acid () was performed in the presence of TfOH and MS 3A in CHCl at room temperature. The polymerization degree was moderately controllable by the change of feed ratio of initiator.

Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common primary brain tumor, lacks effective treatments. Emerging evidence suggests mitochondria as a promising therapeutic target, albeit successfully targeting represents a major challenge. Recently, we discovered a group of triterpenes that can self-assemble into nanoparticles (NPs) for cancer treatment.

Natural compounds demonstrate unique therapeutic advantages for cancer treatment, primarily through direct tumor suppression or interference with the tumor microenvironment (TME). Glycyrrhizic acid (GL), a bioactive ingredient derived from the medicinal herb Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., and its sapogenin glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), have been recognized for their ability to inhibit angiogenesis and remodel the TME.

Bisphenol A (BPA) has been commonly used in various consumer products, including water bottles, food containers, and canned food linings. However, there are concerns about its potential toxicity to human health, particularly its impact on the liver and kidneys. The objective of this research was to investigate the potential ameliorative effects of 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) against BPA-induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in rats.

Background: Previous studies suggest the relationship between activation time (AT) and action potential duration (APD) in the heart is dependent on electrotonic coupling, but this has not been directly tested. This study assessed whether acute changes in electrical coupling, or other determinants of conduction or repolarization, modulate APD heterogeneity.
Methods And Results: Langendorff-perfused guinea pig hearts were epicardially paced and optically mapped after treatment with the gap junction uncoupler carbenoxolone, ephaptic uncoupler mannitol, ephaptic enhancer dextran 2MDa, sodium channel inhibitor flecainide, or rapid component of the delayed rectifier potassium channel inhibitor E4031.
