Licraside
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Licraside, found in Glycyrrhiza glabra, is a Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) activator. Licraside activates FXR to induce upregulation of SHP and BSEP, regulates bile acid homeostasis, reduces elevated biliary and serum TBA, serum ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, and TBIL levels, and attenuates liver histopathological damage. Licraside inhibits factor Xa with an IC50 of 48.54 mM. Licraside can be used for the research of cholestasis and thromboembolic diseases.

Biological Activity
Licraside (20-800 μM; 24-72 h) shows ;low hepatotoxicity profile in HepG2 cells[1].
Licraside (20-100 μM; 24 h) acts as a dose-dependent FXR agonist in transiently transfected HepG2 cells, increasing BSEP promoter-driven luciferase activity[1].
Licraside (40-80 μM; 24 h) activates FXR signaling in HepG2 cells, significantly upregulating downstream SHP protein expression and BSEP protein expression[1].
Licraside inhibits factor Xa with an IC50 of 48.54 mM[2].

Cell Line:HepG2 cells
-
Concentration:20, 40, 80, 100, 800 μM
-
Incubation Time:24 h; 72 h
-
Result:Did not reduce HepG2 cell viability after 24 h incubation at concentrations up to 800 μM.
Caused only a slight, non-significant decrease in cell viability at 20, 40, and 80 μM after 72 h incubation compared to 24 h treatment.
Caused significant hepatic cell death at 100 μM after 72 h incubation.
-
Cell Line:HepG2 cells
-
Concentration:40, 80 μM
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Significantly increased SHP protein expression compared to the control group at both 40 μM and 80 μM.
Significantly upregulated BSEP protein expression at 80 μM.
Caused non-statistically significant increases in BSEP expression at 40 μM.

Animal Model:C57BL/6 J (male, 8-10 weeks old, 18-20 g, ANIT-induced cholestasis)[1]
-
Dosage:1 mg/kg; 5 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; daily; 7 days
-
Result:Significantly reduced biliary total bile acid (TBA) levels.
Significantly reduced serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), total bilirubin (TBIL), and TBA compared to the ANIT model group at medium and high doses.
Reduced fat vacuole formation and eliminated bile duct area inflammatory cell infiltration at low dose.
Resulted in clear liver cell nuclei, minimal hepatocyte necrosis, and no fat vacuole formation at medium dose.
Produced hepatocytes uniform in size, morphology, and structure, arranged neatly in radial patterns similar to the control group at high dose.
Caused slightly less weight loss than the ANIT group.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 1 mg/mL (1.82 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (10.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 1 mg/mL (1.82 mM); Clear solution
