    Journal:  18β-glycyrrhetyl-3-O-sulfate would be a causative agent of licorice-induced pseudoaldosteronism. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 20, 2020   
    Previously, we found 22α-hydroxy-18β-glycyrrhetyl-3-O-sulfate-30-glucuronide (1), one of the metabolites of glycyrrhizin (GL) in the urine of Eisai hyperbilirubinuria rats (EHBRs) treated with glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), and suggested that it is also a possible causative agent of pseudoaldosteronism...In the plasma of a patient suffering from pseudoaldosteronism with rhabdomyolysis due to licorice, we found 8.6 µM of 3, 1.3 µM of GA, and 87 nM of 2, but 1, GL, and 3MGA were not detected. These findings suggest that 18β-glycyrrhetyl-3-O-sulfate (3) is an alternative causative agent of pseudoaldosteronism, rather than 3MGA and 1.

    Clinical, Journal:  Initial Clinical Experience of the Herbal Medicine Inchinkoto for Refractory Hyperbilirubinemia Following Open-heart Surgery (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 2, 2020   
    Hyperbilirubinemia improved in all patients after the introduction of Inchinkoto:1 day after in 1 case, 2 days after in 2 cases, 3 days after in 2 cases, and 4 days after in 1 case. These results indicate the potential of Inchinkoto to attenuate refractory hyperbilirubinemia following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
