Metabolism of 1,8-dihydroxy 3-hydroxy methyl anthraquinone (aloe-emodin) isolated from the leaves of Cassia tora in albino rats.
Cassia tora is a well known plant of India. Aloe-emodin was isolated from the leaves of this plant and its metabolism pattern was studied. The results showed that about 15.4% of the administered aloe-emodin was excreted and the rest was probably bound or metabolized in the system.
