1,8-Dihydroxy-10-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)-9(10H)-anthracenone, 10-β-D-Glucopyranosyl-1,8-dihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-9(10H)-anthracenone, Aloin A, Barbaloin
Purgative activity in rats requires activation by Eubacterium sp. strain BAR or similar intestinal anaerobe, presumably by conversion to aloe-emodin anthrone.

We examined the modifying effect of whole-leaf Aloe arborescens Miller var. natalensis Berger (designated as 'ALOE') on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced aberrant crypt foci (ACF), putative preneoplastic lesions, in the rat colorectum. Male F344 rats (4 weeks old) were fed the basal

There is increasing interest in the study of the antioxidant actions of plant phenolic compounds as evidence shows that consumption of plant products rich in these compounds contributes to protection from a number of ailments including cardiovascular diseases. In the
A strictly anaerobic bacterium, Eubacterium sp. BAR, was isolated from human feces as one of the intestinal bacteria capable of metabolizing barbaloin. The bacterium grew in PYF broth containing barbaloin and converted barbaloin to aloe-emodin anthrone. On the other hand
