Herbs have been used as a form of traditional medicine since ancient times. Licorice is one of the herbs that has long been used as medicine. This plant contains different plant compounds, such as glycyrrhizin, 18??glycyrrhetinic acid, glabrins A and B, and isoflavones, showing various pharmacological activities. Pharmacological experiments have shown that different extracts and pure compounds of this species exhibit broad biological properties, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant, and antidiabetic activities. This systematic review aims to determine the effectiveness of herbal medicine from licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) to prevent and treat H1N1, H5N1, and COVID-19 virus infections from various previous research results. This research is a systematic review using the PRISMA method. A total of 8 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were continued for analysis. A total of 8 articles discuss the effectiveness of licorice on the H1N1, H5N1, and COVID-19 viruses. The articles used include articles published in national journals and international journals. The results showed that 1) Licorice root is effectively used for the prevention and treatment of H1N1, H5N1, and COVID-19 virus infections, 2) Glycyrrhizic acid (GA) is the main compound for the development of potential anti-influenza virus agents. Overall, it can be concluded that licorice and some of its derivatives have the potential as anti-influenza agents for H1N1, H5N1, and COVID-19.

“…The roots of the species are used as a source of red pigments in traditional communities and as a dye in the cosmetics, food, and textile industries [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. The roots are also used as a natural remedy to prevent and treat ulcers, wounds, fever, inflammation, aging, and herpes [ 1 , 4 ]. In Bulgarian folk medicine, A. tinctoria roots are applied internally in the form of a decoction as an astringent for gastrointestinal disorders, and externally, to prepare ointments for application to wounds, pustules, and burns, and poultices made from the whole plant are used to treat mumps.…”

Alkanna tinctoria (L.) Tausch Boraginaceae is a medicinal plant whose root is used for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. A. tinctoria roots have been subject to numerous studies. However, the aerial parts have been explored less. The objective of the present study was to compare the chemical profile of aerial parts and roots as well as the total alkannin content in roots of 11 populations of the species from different floristic regions of Bulgaria. Methanolic extracts from 22 samples were analyzed by GC/MS. Phenolic, fatty, and organic acids, sterols, polyols, fatty alcohols, and sugars were identified. Ononitol (4-O-methyl-myo-inositol) was found as the main compound in the aerial parts. The total alkannin content in the roots was evaluated by the spectrophotometric method and compared with that of the commercial product. Populations with high alkannin content and rich in other bioactive compounds were identified. A relatively low genetic diversity in the studied populations was observed. The present study is the first comprehensive study on metabolite profiles and genetic diversity of the Bulgarian populations of A. tinctoria. The occurrence of ononitol in the aerial parts of the species is reported for the first time, as well as the phenolic acid profiles of the species in both aerial parts and roots. The results showed that aerial parts of the plant are also promising for use as a source of valuable biologically active substances.
