A Review On The Plant Containing Medicinal Important Glycyrrhizin

Abstract

Glycyrrhizin is a glycosylated saponin, containing one molecule of glycyrretinic acid. Glycyrrhizin is a triterpene glycoside, also known as glycyrrhizic acid. It is a tribasic saponin composed of a triterpenoid aglycone, glycyrrhetic acid joined to a disaccharide of glucuronic acid. This review systematically collates the identification of different plant with glycyrrhizin and their distributions.The morphological characteristics, distribution, suitable environment, and area of suitable habitat of important medicinal plants were reviewed.
