Abstract
Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (Licorice) is one of the most important medicinal plants indigenous to Iran. The
main component of this species is a triterpenoid saponin compound called glycyrrhizic acid or glycyrrhizin that is
30-40 times sweeter than sucrose and is used in medicine, food and tobacco industries. Licorice has different
therapeutic implications as it is used against Hepatitis c, skin and pulmonary diseases, and heart failures. It also
improves the immune system and has anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer
properties. The aim of the present study is to demonstrate the pharmaceutical, phytochemical, and economic
potentials of this plant.
