Application

1,8-Dihydroxyanthraquinone can be used:
  • To prepare an inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin, applicable as a sensor in the estimation of Cu2+ ions in an aqueous solution.
  • As a starting material in the synthesis of 1,4,5,8-tetramethoxyanthracene.
  • As an aromatic scavenger in the modification of lignin, which acts as a corrosion inhibitor for steel.

The interactions of fish sperm deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with anthraquinones, such as chrysophanol, physcion and 1,8-dihydroxy anthraquinone, were investigated by using ethidium bromide (EB) as fluorescence probe. The binding constants of anthraquinones and DNA were obtained by the fluorescence quenching
