Licoricidin  (Synonyms: 甘草西定)

Licoricidin (LCD) is isolated from Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, possesses anti-cancer activities. Licoricidin (LCD) inhibit SW480 cells (IC₅₀=7.2 μM) by inducing cycle arrest, apoptosis and autophagy, and is a potential chemopreventive or chemotherapeutic agent against colorectal cancer^[1]. Licoricidin (LCD) inhibits Lung Metastasis by inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis as well as changes in the local microenvironment of tumor tissues the anticarcinogenic effect^[1]. Licoricidin enhanced gemcitabine-induced cytotoxicity in Osteosarcoma (OS) cells by inactivation of the Akt and NF-κB pathways in vitro and in vivo^[3]. Licoricidin blocks UVA-induced photoaging via ROS scavenging, limits the activity of MMP-1, it can be considered as an active ingredient in new topically applied anti-ageing formulations^[4].

Licoricidin (LCD) (0-20 μM; 24 hours) dose-dependently inhibits the viability of colon cancer cell lines with various pathological and genetic characters, namely SW480, HCT116, SW620 and LoVo cells, with IC₅₀ values of 7.2, 5.4, 4.5 and 5.1 μM, respectively^[1].
Licoricidin (LCD) (0-20 μM; 0-12 hours) induces cell apoptosis was accompanied with the activation of caspase-3 by cleavage in a time- and dose-dependent manner^[1].
Licoricidin (LCD) (0-20 μM; 0-12 hours) induces autophagy of SW480 cells, increases the cleavage of LC3-I to LC3-II and the degradation of p62 in a time and dose dependent manner^[1].
Licoricidin (LCD) (0-5 μg/ml; 18 hours) inhibits cell migration, MMP-9 secretion, and VCAM expression in 4T1 cells^[2].

Licoricidin (LCD) (intraperitoneal injection; 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg; once daily; 15 days) significantly inhibited the growth of SW480 xenografts in nude mice with an inhibitory rate of 43.5%^[1].
Licoricidin (LCD) (intraperitoneal injection; 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg; once daily; 32 days) reduces pulmonary metastasis and the expression of CD45, CD31, HIF-1α, iNOS, COX-2, and VEGF-A in tumor tissues, additionally, decreases protein expression of VEGF-R2, VEGF-C, VEGF-R3, and LYVE-1 in tumor tissues of licoricidin-treated mice^[2].
