Description

General description

Aloe-emodin, an anthraquinone derivative, is an active constituent of several medicinal plants. It shows gastrointestinal effects by exerting laxative activity.

This substance is a primary reference substance with assigned absolute purity (considering chromatographic purity, water, residual solvents, inorganic impurities). The exact value can be found on the certificate. Produced by PhytoLab GmbH & Co. KG

Application

Aloe-emodin may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in plant and animal samples by high-performance liquid chromatography technique.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Laxative/cathartic compound; increases the contraction of intestinal smooth muscle by releasing endogenous acetylcholine. Anti-tumor activity is associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that, in turn, reduces the mitochondrial transmembrane electrical potential, thus inducing a permeability transition that sets in motion a series of events culminating in cellular apoptosis. Genotoxicity and mutagenicity appear to be due to the inhibition of topoisomerase II activity by aloe emodin.

Other Notes

This compound is commonly found in plants of the genus: aloe
