| Research Abstract |
One of the most incident adverse effects of kampo medicine is pseudoaldosteronism. This study revealed that 3-monoglucuronyl glycyrrhetinic acid (3MGA), which is one of the metabolites of glycyrrhizin, the main constituent of lycorice, is a substrate of organic anion transporters expressed in the membrane of renal epithelial cells, and can inhibit 11・-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, but that glycyrrhetinic acid, the main metabolite of glycyrrhizin can not. We can prevent to develop pseudoaldosteronism by monitoring the concentration of 3MGA in plasma or urine of the patients who take kampo medicine.
