Emodinanthrone(Cat No.:I044792)is an anthraquinone derivative formed as a metabolic intermediate of emodin, a natural compound found in various medicinal plants like Rheum and Polygonum species. It possesses a tricyclic aromatic structure and is primarily studied for its role in the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of anthraquinones. Emodinanthrone has been associated with biological activities such as laxative effects, antimicrobial action, and potential anticancer properties. It plays a key role in the biotransformation of emodin in vivo, contributing to both its therapeutic effects and possible toxicity. Research continues to explore its relevance in drug metabolism and safety profiling.
