Glicoricone acts as a partial estrogen antagonist. Glicoricone inhibited the monoamine oxidase with the IC50 values of 6.0 x 10(-5)-1.4 x 10(-4) M.

Glycyrrhizin-6′′-methylester (compound 22) is a glycyrrhizin that can be isolated from licorice root. Glycyrrhizin-6′′-methylester can participate as an aglycone in the formation of methyl glucuronate, producing a sweet and licorice taste, but no bitterness. This reveals the importance of the free carboxyl group on the glycoside cone-bound glucuronic acid for natural sweetness and licorice taste.

Endogenous peptide agonist of Mas related GPR X2 (MRGPRX2, EC50 = 251 nM). Also a noncompetitive nicotinic cholinergic antagonist. Inhibits nicotine-stimulated catecholamine secretion from PC12 cells in vitro, and from sympathetic nerve endings and adrenal chromaffin cells in vivo. Corresponds to amino acids 1 - 20 of proadrenomedullin. Antihypertensive.
