Danthron, a natural product, was originally extracted from the roots and rhizome of Polygonaceae plant. Danthron is an anthraquinone. Danthron has been widely administrated as a laxative since the 1900s. In the United States, danthron has been forbidden to continual use as laxative because it is considered to be a carcinogen. In the UK, it is not marketed alone but in combination with poloxamer 188 as co-danthramer and with docusate as co-danthrusate; in the UK, its use is strictly restricted to the elderly and to the terminally ill of all ages because of concerns about carcinogenicity and hepatotoxicity. It has only a limited role in the treatment of constipation.
