Emodin-8-glucoside

Emodin-8-glucoside is an anthraquinone derivative that can be isolated from Aloe vera. Emodin-8-glucoside is the inhibitor for MAPK with an inhibition constant of 430.14 pM. Emodin-8-glucoside exhibits moderate inhibitory activity against rat lens aldose reductase (ALAR) and topoisomerases II with IC50s of 14.4 μM and 66 μM. Emodin-8-glucoside exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activities. Emodin-8-glucoside can cross the blood brain barrier[1][2][3][4][5].
