Aloe-emodin glycosides of senna leaf
Abstract A new glucoside has been isolated from senna leaf (Cassia senna L.) and shown to be identical with the aloe-emodin-8-mono-β-D-glucoside recently isolated from Rheum palmatum. This new quinone glucoside is insoluble in water and is present in only small quantities and therefore unlikely to contribute much to the activity of the ...

In vitro studies on the photobiological properties of aloe emodin and aloin A [PDF]
Plants containing aloin A, aloe emodin, and structurally related anthraquinones have long been used as traditional medicines and in the formulation of retail products such as laxatives, dietary supplements, and cosmetics. Since a recent study indicated that topically applied aloe emodin increases the sensitivity of skin to UV light, we examined the ...

Aloe-emodin as drug candidate for cancer therapy
As a leading cause of global mortality, cancer frequently cannot be cured due to the development of drug resistance. Therefore, novel drugs are required. Naturally occurring anthraquinones are mostly present in Rumex and Rhamnus species and are of interest because of their structural similarity to anthracyclines as well established anticancer drugs. In

Aloe-emodin, a hydroxyanthracene derivative, is not genotoxic in an in vivo comet test [PDF]
Aloe-emodin, one of the molecules belonging to the group of hydroxyanthracene derivatives, was recently described as genotoxic in vivo. Indeed, the EFSA judged that aloe-emodin, together with other similar molecules (emodin and danthron) and extracts from the leaf of Aloe species containing hydroxyanthracene derivatives, could represent a risk factor ...

Aloe emodin promotes mucosal healing by modifying the differentiation fate of enteroendocrine cells via regulating cellular free fatty acid sensitivity [PDF]
The proper differentiation and reorganization of the intestinal epithelial cell population is critical to mucosal regeneration post injury. Label retaining cells (LRCs) expressing SRY-box transcription factor 9 (SOX9) promote epithelial repair by ...
