Application
Aloin, a natural mixed diastereomer (A/B) anthracycline from aloe plant, may be studied as a chemopreventive factor and antineoplastic agent. Aloin inhibits angiogenesis, enhances melanogenesis and regulates transglutaminase activity. Aloin may be used to assess its activity as a selective phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Aloin A is used as a stabilizer in the preparation of gold and silver nanoparticles.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Purgative activity in rats requires activation by Eubacterium sp. strain BAR or similar intestinal anaerobe, presumably by conversion to aloe-emodin anthrone.
