White powder, soluble in methanol, ethanol, DMSO and other organic solvents, derived from licorice.
Neolicuroside modulates signaling pathways (e.g., MAPK, NF-KB), impacting vital cell processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Its multitargeted mechanism includes scavenging free radicals, suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine production, inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity and hindering cancer cell growth through apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, it also exerts immunomodulatory effects possibly by activating toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4).
