Glycyrrhizol A is a prenylated pterocarpan, a derivative of isoflavonoids. It is a compound isolated from the root of the Chinese Licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza uralensis).

Recent studies by scientists from UCLA have suggested that these compounds have antibacterial properties.^[1] The strongest antibacterial activity was observed against Streptococcus mutans, an organism known to cause tooth decay in humans.
