Chemical compound
Liquiritigenin is a flavanone that was isolated from Glycyrrhiza uralensis, and is found in a variety of plants of the Glycyrrhiza genus, including Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice).[1] It is an estrogenic compound which acts as a selective agonist of the ERβ subtype of the estrogen receptor (ER),[2] though it is also reported to act as an ERα partial agonist at sufficient concentrations.[3] It also has a choleretic effect.[1]
Liquiritigenin,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (hydroxylating, aryl migration) is an enzyme that uses liquiritigenin, O2, NADPH and H+ to produce 2,7,4'-trihydroxyisoflavanone, H2O, and NADP+.
