Emodin-8-glucoside is a natural product found in various plants used in traditional herbal medicine such as Aloe vera and Rheum officinale. It has antiviral effects, and has a complex mechanism of action, acting as a 5-HT1B agonist as well as an activator of PPARα/γ and AMPK.[1][2]
Biosynthesis
[edit]The enzyme hydroxyanthraquinone glucosyltransferase, characterised from Cinchona succiruba, converts the hydroxyanthraquinone, emodin,[3] to its glucosylated derivative, emodin-8-glucoside. The glucose unit is transferred from UDP-glucose, with uridine diphosphate (UDP) as byproduct.[4]
