Emodin and Aloe-Emodin Reduce Cell Growth and Disrupt Metabolic Plasticity in Human Melanoma Cells. [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer with intratumor metabolic heterogeneity, which drives its progression and therapy resistance. Natural anthraquinones, such as emodin and aloe-emodin, exhibit anti-cancer properties, but their effects on metabolic plasticity remain unclear.

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 ...

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

Protein kinase C involvement in aloe-emodin- and emodin-induced apoptosis in lung carcinoma cell [PDF]
This study demonstrated aloe‐emodin‐ and emodin‐induced apoptosis in lung carcinoma cell lines CH27 (human lung squamous carcinoma cell) and H460 (human lung non‐small cell carcinoma cell). Aloe‐emodin‐ and emodin‐induced apoptosis was characterized by nuclear morphological changes and DNA fragmentation.
