Abstract:
Licochalcone A (LCA), as a major flavonoid in Glycyrrhiza inflate, has attracted wide attention in recent years. Studies showed that LCA has multiple pharmacological effects such as anti-tumour, anti-inflammation, anti-bacteria and anti-parasite. We made a summary for domestic and foreign study literatures for various pharmacological effects of LCA.
