18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid (18α-GA) is a bioactive triterpenoid found in licorice. It is an inhibitor of NF-kB and an activator of proteasome, which serves as pro-longevity and anti-aggregation factor in a multicellular organism. It shows selective inhibition of 11-HSD1 (11-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1). 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid (18α-GA) also shows anti-proliferative and apoptotic effect on hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Furthermore, 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid induces expression of PPAR-γ and alters some cell cycle and apoptosis-related proteins.

| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
