Abstract

We examined ammonium glycyrrhizate listed in the monographs of the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) as well as in the reagents and solutions used in the general test of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia by performing HPLC on their sample standards or reference reagents under reported and modified conditions. Comparative experiments involving five authentic samples, namely, 18β-glycyrrhizin (1), 18α-glycyrrhizin (2), licorice–saponin G2 (3), licorice–saponin H2 (4), and galacturonic acid-replaced glycyrrhizin (the 4″-epimer of 18β-glycyrrhizin) (5), led us to propose the revision of the peak assignment of 18α-glycyrrhizin (2) and postscript a possible co-existence of galacturonic acid-replaced glycyrrhizin (5) as a hidden component in the EP and USP. We also proposed that the α-configuration used in the nomenclature of the glycosidic bond between aglycone and the sugar units of ammonium glycyrrhizate and impurities in the EP and USP should be revised to the β-configuration.
