Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate hydrate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate hydrate (18α-Glycyrrhizic acid Magnesium hydrate; 18α-GA Magnesium hydrate; 18α-Licorice-saponin H2 Magnesium hydrate) is a derivative of glycyrrhizic acid with oral activity. Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate hydrate exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective and cardioprotective activities. Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate hydrate protects against ethanol-induced alcoholic liver disease in rats by upregulating the expression levels of SOD, GSH, PPAR-α and CPT-1. Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate hydrate shows cytotoxicity against T lymphocytes and inhibits HIV-1 replication in these cells. Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate hydrate alleviates oxidative stress by reducing the levels of ROS, Nrf2, HO-1 and p-P65, and alleviates pyroptosis by downregulating the expression levels of NLRP3, GSDMD-N, P20 and c-IL-1β. Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate hydrate inhibits autophagy, colonic fibrosis and myocardial fibrosis, and regulates intestinal barrier integrity. Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate hydrate can be used in research related to alcoholic liver disease, HIV-1 infection, hepatotoxicity, acute liver failure, inflammatory bowel disease and myocardial fibrosis.

Biological Activity
18α-Glycyrrhizic acid (0.1-100 μg/mL; 4 days) Magnesium hydrate exhibits cytotoxicity against MT-4 human T lymphocytes with a CD50 of 132 μg/mL; it also inhibits the replication of HIV-1 (strain HIV/EVK) in these cells with an ID50 of 105 μg/mL, resulting in a final selectivity index of 1.26[2].
18α-Glycyrrhizic acid (0.01-1.0 mg/mL; 60 min-30 h) Magnesium hydrate dose-dependently inhibits CCl4- and GalN-induced cytotoxicity in primary cultured rat hepatocytes in vitro[3].
18α-Glycyrrhizic acid (1 mg/mL; 2 h) Magnesium hydrate reduces Alectinib (HY-13011)-induced cytotoxicity, increases the survival rate of AML-12 mouse hepatocytes treated with 10 μM Alectinib, alleviates mitochondrial structural damage, restores mitochondrial membrane potential, and enhances the activities of NADH-CoQ reductase and coenzyme Q-cytochrome C reductase[5].
Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (1 mg/mL; 2 h) hydrate reduces the elevated intracellular ROS level in AML-12 cells treated with 10 μM Alectinib, downregulates the expression of oxidative stress-related proteins (Nrf2, HO-1, p-P65) to alleviate oxidative stress, and decreases the expression levels of pyroptosis-related proteins (NLRP3, GSDMD-N, P20, c-IL-1β) to mitigate pyroptosis[5].
Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (5-320 μg/mL; 1 h pretreatment, 24 h ConA co-treatment) hydrate reduces ConA (HY-P2149)-induced in vitro death of primary mouse hepatocytes by inhibiting autophagy, without altering hepatocyte apoptosis[6].
