Popis: We have examined the protective effect of liquorice or its derivatives against gastric ulcer induced by aspirin. A granular mixture of aspirin alone and coated with liquorice or its derivatives including the deglycyrrhized form, a high glycyrrhized form, carbenoxolone, and enoxolone were studied. Aspirin coated with liquorice reduced the number and size of ulcers, reducing the ulcer index from 1·5±0·12 to 0·5 ± 0·12 and the incidence from 96% to 46%. Coating with derivatives was less effective (ulcer index, 0·70–0·94; incidence 62–76%).
