18 β-Glycyrrhetinic Acid is an aglycone of the triterpenoid Glyccyrrhizic acid, which is found in liquorice. inhibits the PGDH (15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase) leading to increased prostaglandin concentration in the digestive system. Also investigated for potential antibiotic activities. 18 β-Glycyrrhetinic Acid is an inhibitor of DinB, DNA pol alpha, DNA pol gamma and DNA pol lambda.
