Abstract

Isolated in the free state and as the glucoside in Rheum polygonaceae species (rhubarb), Senna leaves, and several species of Cassia (Peguminosae), 1 rhein (1, Figure 1) is well-known for its applications in antiarthritic drugs. 2 Indeed, rhein is recognized to be the active metabolite of diacerhein (2), which inhibits interleukin-1 activity by reducing the collagenase production in articular cartilage. ... Figure 1 Structure of rhein (1), diacerhein (2), aloe-emodin (3), ...
