Description

General description

Emodin is an anthraquinone derivative, extracted from rhubarb (Rheum palmatum). It has antibacterial, anti-neoplastic, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenesis properties. Emodin exhibits cytotoxic effects, apoptosis and stimulates the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α, glutathione S-transferase P and N-acetyltransferase. It prevents the growth of prostate cancer cells. Emodin is used to treat constipation and hemorrhoid. It displays immunosuppressive and anti-diabetic effects.

Application

Emodin has been used:

to investigate its regulatory mechanisms on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory injury in myocarditis
as a reference standard for the development and validation of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-photodiode array (PDA) assay method
to inhibit Tau aggregation
for direct binding assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibitor of NF-κB activation and adhesion molecule expression. Casein Kinase 2 (CK2) inhibitor.

Antitumor activity of emodin against pancreatic cancer depends on its dual role: promotion of apoptosis and suppression of angiogenesis.

Sheng-Zhang Lin et al.

PloS one, 7(8), e42146-e42146 (2012-08-10)

Emodin has been showed to induce apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells and inhibit tumor growth in our previous studies. This study was designed to investigate whether emodin could inhibit the angiogenesis of pancreatic cancer tissues and its mechanism. In accordance
