    The EtOAc extract of licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis roots) exhibited considerable PPAR-gamma ligand-binding activity. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the extract using a GAL-4-PPAR-gamma chimera assay method resulted in the isolation of two isoflavenes, one of which is a new compound named dehydroglyasperin D, an isoflavan, two 3-arylcoumarins, and an isoflavanone as the PPAR-gamma ligand-binding active ingredients of licorice. The isoprenyl group at C-6 and the C-2' hydroxyl group in the aromatic ring-C part in the isoflavan, isoflavene, or arylcoumarin skeleton were found to be the structural requirements for PPAR-gamma ligand-binding activity. Glycyrin, one of the main PPAR-gamma ligands of licorice, significantly decreased the blood glucose levels of genetically diabetic KK-A(y) mice.
