18β-glycyrrhetinic acid

This review discusses the biological properties of 18β‐glycyrrhetinic acid derived from licorice root, highlighting its potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial benefits in treating dermatological disorders, and reports no new experimental results.

In this study, gelatin methacrylate hydrogel dressings co-loaded with resveratrol, 18-β-glycyrrhetinic acid, and berberine showed enhanced capabilities in wound closure, infection clearance, and skin structure regeneration in mice with infected wounds compared to dressings with single agents.

This study found that 18-β-Glycyrrhetinic acid, a licorice component, stimulated human hair follicle cell proliferation, inhibited testosterone 5α-reductase, and suppressed TGF-β1, suggesting potential for treating androgenetic alopecia by promoting hair growth and prolonging the anagen phase.

This study found that glycyrrhetinic acid, derived from licorice, may help alleviate acne symptoms by regulating lipid synthesis and inflammatory responses through multiple pathways, as observed in both in vitro and in vivo settings.

This review article summarizes findings that suggest natural products may help treat skin inflammation related to abnormal hormone secretion by the adrenal gland, as they can inhibit inflammation pathways and promote wound healing.

This review examines the phytochemical constituents and pharmacological effects of licorice, discussing its potential health benefits and side effects without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that compounds from *Tectona grandis* leaves showed moderate inhibition of steroid 5α-reductase, a factor in androgenetic alopecia, and exhibited anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting nitric oxide and pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 in vitro, suggesting potential dual-action benefits for AGA management.

This study explored the anti-hair loss potential of plant extracts like licorice, salvia miltiorrhiza, and others, finding they increased ALP and β-catenin expression and reduced TGF-β1 and IL-6 in human dermal papilla cells without cytotoxicity.

This study found that DPG promoted wound healing in rat skin, with increased collagen I density, particularly evident within the first 14 days after injury.

This review highlights the potential of microneedle technology in traditional Chinese medicine as a promising transdermal delivery system for skin diseases, showcasing improved efficacy and reduced side effects of TCM ingredients while discussing the challenges of its clinical application.

This study examines the role of nanotechnology in cosmetics, highlighting its benefits in improving ingredient solubility and stability, but also noting challenges such as cost, shelf life, and safety concerns, along with regulatory complexities, particularly in harmonizing global legislation.

This review summarizes recent findings on how the dysregulated PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway contributes to immune-mediated inflammatory skin disorders and discusses the potential of natural products, synthetic compounds, and biologic agents in their treatment. However, it emphasizes the need for further research to develop effective therapies.

This study reports that Hair RiseTM microemulsion, made from plant extracts, significantly enhanced hair follicle cell growth and improved hair growth signaling pathways, suggesting it as a plant-based alternative for androgenetic alopecia treatment.

This article explores whether Melampus, a mythological healer, may have intentionally caused the madness of Proetus' daughters through the use of herbs, despite being credited with their cure.

This review discusses the potential of nanoparticles to modify angiogenesis processes for therapeutic applications and reports no new clinical results, highlighting challenges and future prospects in treating angiogenesis-related diseases.

This study found that co-administration of ketoconazole significantly altered the pharmacokinetics of dutasteride in rats, suggesting an interaction potential between dutasteride and azole antifungal drugs.

This study isolated and characterized several chemical compounds from the leaves and flowers of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, using spectral data and chemical reactions for structure elucidation.
