“…The Structure of Glycyrrhetic Acid GTA was originally isolated by Tschirch and Gederberg [4] by the hydrolysis of GZA (II), the main glycoside of the licorice root extract. Subsequent investigations performed by several groups of researchers, including Ruzicka et al [5], Djerassi and Foltz [6], Beaton and Spring [7], and Corey and Cantrall [8], allowed the GTA structure to be identified as 313,2013-3-hydroxy-11-oxo-12-oleanen-29-oic acid. The data related to the GTA structure identification were reviewed in [9].…”
