Liquiritigenin is aflavanone that was isolated fromGlycyrrhiza uralensis, and is found in a variety of plants of theGlycyrrhiza genus, includingGlycyrrhiza glabra (licorice).[1] It is anestrogenic compound which acts as a selectiveagonist of theERβ subtype of theestrogen receptor (ER),[2] though it is also reported to act as anERαpartial agonist at sufficient concentrations.[3] It also has acholeretic effect.[1]
Liquiritigenin,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (hydroxylating, aryl migration) is anenzyme that uses liquiritigenin, O2, NADPH and H+ to produce2,7,4'-trihydroxyisoflavanone, H2O, and NADP+.
