There have been several studies indicating the enzyme inhibitory activities of phenolic compounds and
anthraquinones. Sawabe et al.
Photodynamic activity of
anthraquinones isolated from Heterophyllaea pustulata Hook f.
In all the three studied species alkaloids, glycosides, starch grains, tannins,
anthraquinone, saponins were present whereas absence of fixed and volatile oils were reported in current study.
Antioxidant Activity of
Anthraquinones and Flavonoids from Flower of Reynoutria sachalinensis.
The most important are alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, flavonoids, steroids,
anthraquinone and tannic acid.
Anthraquinone glycosides from plant parts of Cassia occidentalis.
Meanwhile, we examined the anti-inflammation and neuroprotective effects of CHR, a member of the
anthraquinone family [36], in the mice who underwent tMCAO.
Anthraquinones were suspended in 100% ethanol so that the concentrations in the assays were as listed.
Different plant Tests constituents Test for alkaloids Mayer's test, Dragendroff's test, Wagner's test, and Hager's test Test for proteins and Millon's test, Biuret test, and amino acids ninhydrin test Test for
anthraquinones Modified Borntrager's test Test for flavonoids Ferric chloride test and lead acetate test Test for carbohydrates Molisch's test Test for reducing sugars Fehling's test and Benedict's test Test for saponins Foam formation test Test for tannins Ferric chloride test and lead acetate test Test for steroids, Liebermann-Burchard test, triterpenoids, and Salkowski test, Noller's test, cardiac glycosides Legal's test, Baljet test, and Keller Kiliani's test TABLE 2: Effect on electrolyte excretion in urine.
Saponins detected by all solvents, followed by tannin, reducing sugar (each 7), flavonoids (6), terpenoid (5), alkaloids,
anthraquinone (4 each), whereas, steroids detected by 3 and phlobatannin as well as glycoside isolated by 2 solvents.
Prencese of
Anthraquinones in the extracts are of great importance as
Anthraquinones are considered to be one of the most active agents in metastatic breast cancer.
Commercial aloe beverages that contain little or no latex
anthraquinones may have yielded different outcomes in the subchronic or chronic exposure tests.
