Biological Activity

Aloeemodin is able to interact with DNA under certain in vitro conditions, however, in vivo it is negative did not indicate a genotoxic potential, thus, it may be assumed that a genotoxic risk for man might be unlikely.[1]
Aloeemodin has inhibition of β-amyloid aggregation, and has neuroprotective effect on primary hippocampal cells against β-amyloid induced toxicity.[2]
Aloeemodin has anti-fibrotic effects, perhaps through downregulation of the expression of Smad2 mRNA and TGF-β1,TIMP1,and type Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen proteins,and upregulation of the expression of Smad7 mRNA.[3]
Aloeemodin might have therapeutic effects on liver fibrosis induced by Schistosoma of liver through the effects of TGF-β1,VEGF and FAK expression.[4]
Aloeemodin can suppress the proliferation of HGC-27 cell to induce apoptosis and block cell cycle.[5]
