Anthraquinones

Hydroxyanthraquinones are laxactive ingredients of Cassia senna (senna), Rhamnus frangula (frangula bark), and Aloe vera (aloe). They also occur in genera Rheum, Rumex, Polygonum, and family Fabaceae [1]. Their glycosidic form is pharmacologically inacitive, but is metabolized to its aglycon in the intestinal flora. For laxative drugs, the maximum daily intake is 30 mg anthraquinone glycoside.
