Abstract

Petroleum ether extract of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) roots was obtained and investigated. Hydrocarbons, sterol ethers, triacylglycerides, free fatty acids, and free sterols were identified. The extract contained 70% neutral and 30% polar lipids. It is established that the lipid fraction of licorice roots are more effective than that of rosehip oil in stimulating the reparative regeneration of skin. In addition, this fraction also exhibits pronounced antiinflammatory and antiulcer effects. Based on these results, the lipid fraction of licorice roots can be recommended for creating and medicinal and cosmetic preparations.
