Abstract
The organic extracts of two licorices, known in commerce as Russian and Xinjiang licorices, exhibited potent antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. The bioassay-directed chemical investigation of both licorices revealed glabrene, glabridin, and licochalcones A and B as active principles.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
