Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Gels containing medicinal ingredients of licorice were formed by dissolving into a biocompatible zwitterionic cellulose solvent and successive precipitation. The licorice gels gradually released glycyrrhizic acid, the main medicinal ingredient of licorice, within 3 h. Although the licorice gels were mechanically weak, gel strength was improved just by adding cellulose during the preparation of the gels.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
低毒性なセルロース溶媒であるliquid zwitterionを用いて、薬用植物である甘草を溶解・析出させるのみで、薬効成分を含む甘草ゲルを作製した。これまでに薬用植物から、その成分を含むゲルを直接的に作ることはできなかった。ゲルを直接作製できることで有効成分を失わずに成形できること、その成分の徐放をおこなうこと、塗布薬にすることなどが可能となった。
