Aloesin is a chromone derivative isolated from aloe vera. It has many biological effects, such as wound and burn healing properties, and antioxidant, free radical scavenging, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. Aloesin has been shown to be a potent and selective inhibitor of tyrosinase. It exhibited direct inhibitory effects on melanogenesis. Aloesin treatment showed pigmentation suppression in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, aloesin may be used as an agent that inhibits melanin formation induced by UV radiation. Aloesin is thought to be one of the active ingredients in regards to the anti-diabetic activity of Aloe. Aloesin exerts its anticancer effect through the MAPK signaling pathway. It is a novel therapeutic drug for ovarian cancer treatment.

Aloesin did not induce reverse mutations in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli at any of the tested dose levels up to 10,000 ug/plate. Similarly, aloesin did not increase the incidence of chromosome aberrations when incubated with Chinese hamster lung cells at any of the tested concentrations up to 10,000 ug/mL.
