Licorisoflavan A
Licorisoflavan A shows weak scavenging activity against superoxide anion radical, it and licoricidin have potential for the development of novel host-modulating strategies for the treatment of cytokine and/or MMP-mediated disorders such as periodontitis.Licorisoflavan A has bactericidal effects on S. mutans UA159 at the concentration of ≥4 g/ml, it can be useful in developing oral hygiene products, such as gargling solutions and dentifrices for preventing dental caries.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to
24 months(2-8C).
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20C. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

The packaging of the product may have turned upside down during transportation, resulting in the natural compounds adhering to the neck or cap of the vial. take the vial out of its packaging and gently shake to let the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial. for liquid products, centrifuge at 200-500 RPM to gather the liquid at the bottom of the vial. try to avoid loss or contamination during handling.

Modulation of matrix metalloproteinase and cytokine production by licorice isolates licoricidin and licorisoflavan A: potential therapeutic approach for periodontitis.[Pubmed:
20722535 ]
Inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) produced by resident and inflammatory cells in response to periodontopathogens play a major role in the tissue destruction observed in periodontitis, which is a disease that affects tooth-supporting structures. In the present study, we investigate the effects of licorice-derived licoricidin (LC) and Licorisoflavan A (LIA) on the secretion of various cytokines and MMPs by human monocyte-derived macrophages stimulated with Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (previously Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans) lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Macrophages were treated with non-toxic concentrations of LC or LIA before being stimulated with A. actinomycetemcomitans LPS. The secretion of cytokines and MMPs and the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 and activator protein (AP)-1 were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. LC and LIA inhibited the secretion of interleukin (IL)-6 and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 in a concentration-dependent manner but did not affect the secretion of IL-8 by LPS-stimulated macrophages. LC and LIA also inhibited the secretion of MMP-7, -8, and -9 by macrophages. The suppression of cytokine and MMP secretion by LC and LIA was associated with the reduced activation of NF-κB p65 but not that of AP-1.
CONCLUSIONS:
The present study suggests that LC and LIA have potential for the development of novel host-modulating strategies for the treatment of cytokine and/or MMP-mediated disorders such as periodontitis.

In vitro antimicrobial activities of 1-methoxyficifolinol, licorisoflavan A, and 6,8-diprenylgenistein against Streptococcus mutans.[Pubmed:
25531232 ]
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Cell toxicity of substances to normal human gingival fibroblast (NHGF) cells was tested using a methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay. Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) was used in the control group. Three antimicrobial flavonoids, 1-methoxyficifolinol, Licorisoflavan A, and 6,8-diprenylgenistein, were isolated from the CLE. We found that the three flavonoids and CHX had bactericidal effects on S. mutans UA159 at the concentration of ≥4 and ≥1 μg/ml, respectively. The purified compounds completely inhibited biofilm development of S. mutans UA159 at concentrations over 4 μg/ml, which was equivalent to 2 μg/ml of CHX. Confocal analysis showed that biofilms were sparsely scattered in the presence of over 4 μg/ml of the purified compounds. However, the three compounds purified from CLE showed less cytotoxic effects on NHGF cells than CHX at these biofilm-inhibitory concentrations.
CONCLUSIONS:
Our results suggest that purified flavonoids from CLE can be useful in developing oral hygiene products, such as gargling solutions and dentifrices for preventing dental caries.

Antinephritis and radical scavenging activity of prenylflavonoids[Pubmed:
14630182]
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Antinephritis activity of 5 prenylflavonoids similar to glabridin (1-5), isolated from Morus alba, Artocarpus communis, Glycyrrhiza uralensis and G. inflata, was evaluated in mice with glomerular disease (Masugi-nephritis). Oral administrations of artonin E (2) or licochalcone A (4) for 10 days (30 mg kg(-1) day(-1)) reduced the amount of urinary protein excretion compared to nephritic mice.
CONCLUSIONS:
ESR spectroscopy demonstrated that morusin (1) and Licorisoflavan A (5) increased the radical intensity of sodium ascorbate by about two times. Morusin, licoricidin (3), licochalcone A and Licorisoflavan A showed weak scavenging activity against superoxide anion radical.
