Aloe emodin is a hydroxyanthraquinone found in Aloe vera leaves. It plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth and death. It has been reported to promote the anti-cancer effects in various cancer cells by inducing apoptosis. Aloe emodin selectively inhibits human neuroectodermal tumor cell growth in tissue cultures and in animal models. It has significant antileukemic activity against the P-388 lymphocytic leukemia in mice. Anti-glioma action of Aloe emodin involves ERK-independent induction of both apoptosis and autophagy, as well as ERK inhibition-mediated differentiation of glioma cells. Aloe-emodin can not pass through the blood-brain barrier.

The colony growth was only partially reduced at high concentrations of aloe-emodin, with ED50s of 80 and 120 uM, respectively, for bone marrow- and cord blood-derived colony forming unit granulocyte/macrophages. In contrast, the colony-forming activity of neuroblastoma cells (SJ-N-KP) was inhibited at a much lower concentration of aloe-emodin (ED50 of 7 uM).
