Chrysophanic acid (Chrysophanol) is a member of the anthraquinone family abundant in rhubarb, a widely used herb for obesity treatment in Traditional Korean Medicine. Chrysophanol has been shown to induce cell death in different types of cancer cells. Chrysophanol inhibits EGF-induced phosphorylation of EGFR and suppresses activation of AKT and mTOR/p70S6K. Chrysophanol also effectively suppresses breast cancer cell proliferation and facilitates chemosentivity through modulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. A treatment of chrysophanol could reduce significantly the clinical signs and the levels of inflammatory mediators in a colitis model caused by DSS treatment. The anti-inflammatory activities of chrysophanol could be attributed, at least in part, to the inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine production (TNF-α and IL-6), COX-2, and iNOS protein expression. These effects of chrysophanol are caused by the inhibition of LPS-induced NF-κB activation, IκB-α degradation, and caspase-1 activation. These results provide experimental evidence showing that chrysophanol might prove useful in the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
