Abstract
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) is widely regarded as an important medicinal plant and has
been used for centuries in traditional medicine because of its therapeutic properties. Studies have
shown that metabolites isolated from licorice have many pharmacological activities, such as antiinflammatory,
anti-viral, participation in immune regulation, anti-tumor and other activities. This article
gives an overview of the pharmacological activities and mechanisms of licorice metabolites and the
adverse reactions that need attention. This review helps to further investigate the possibility of licorice
as a potential drug for various diseases. It is hoped that this review can provide a relevant theoretical
basis for relevant scholars’ research and their own learning.
