Application

Aloin, a natural mixed diastereomer (A/B) anthracycline from aloe plant, may be studied as a chemopreventive factor and antineoplastic agent. Aloin inhibits angiogenesis, enhances melanogenesis and regulates transglutaminase activity. Aloin may be used to assess its activity as a selective phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Aloin A is used as a stabilizer in the preparation of gold and silver nanoparticles.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Purgative activity in rats requires activation by Eubacterium sp. strain BAR or similar intestinal anaerobe, presumably by conversion to aloe-emodin anthrone.

The aim of this study was to collect evidences on the role of transglutaminase (TG, E.C.2.3.2.13) in the antineoplastic properties exerted by nimesulide (NMS), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, on murine B16-F10 melanoma cells. Treatment of melanoma cells with nimesulide produces
