Also known as (E)-1-(2,4-Dihydroxy-phenyl)-3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone, trans-2',4,4'-trihydroxychalcone, (E)-1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propene-1-one, 2',4,4'-Trihydroxychalcone, ILTG

Isoliquiritigenin is a chalcone found in the roots of several Glycyrrhiza species, such as liquorice, studied for its activity as a tyrosinase inhibitor, NMDA receptor antagonist, GABA modulator, and its potential antineoplastic and geroprotective effects.
