Glycyrrhizic acid is the principal active constituent of licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) and is known for its anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and antiviral properties. It has been used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis and as a component in traditional medicine. It is not a first-line or widely approved drug in modern Western medicine but may still be used in certain countries as an adjunct in liver disorders.
