Field Survey of Glycyrrhiza Plants in Central Asia (3). Chemical Characterization of G. glabra Collected in Uzbekistan

The chemical characteristics of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. were investigated at a habitat in Uzbekistan. HPLC analysis of the underground parts indicated that glycyrrhizin contents varied from 3.3 to 6.1% of dry weight, and that glabridin, a species-specific flavonoid for G. glabra, was detected in all underground samples (0.08-0.35% of dry weight). HPLC analysis of the leaves indicated that G. glabra plants collected in the present study could be divided into two types, RT-type and IQ-type, according to their major flavonol glycosides, rutin or isoquercitrin, respectively.
