Cathartics anthraquinone

Anthraquinone glycosides found in senna (Cassia fistulosa) and Aloe spp. have been included in some commercial cathartics. Vicine is a glycoside in fava beans (Vida faba), and causes hemolytic anemia in people who have a genetic deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in their red blood cells. Fava beans are grown as a protein supplement for livestock. [Pg.54]

Anthraquinones The Oj Pile). Alizarin (1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone) is the orange-red compound of Rubia tinctorum (madder) (Rubiaceae), a longstanding dyestuff in human history. A range of anthraquinones are variously cathartic, antimicrobial and cytotoxic. A variety of anthraquinones are protein kinase inhibitors including alizarin, chrysazin, damnacanthal, emodin and purpurin. [Pg.25]

Basic and advanced life-support measures should be utilized. Activated charcoal without a cathartic may be used in early decontamination. Most ingestions are self-limiting. Treatment after decontamination is symptomatic and supportive. Monitoring of fluids and electrolytes is recommended for symptomatic patients. If a significant ingestion of anthraquinones does occur, Borntrager s reaction may occur (red color is seen in alkaline urine and a yellow-brown color in acid urine). No other specific laboratory tests are available to assist in diagnosis and treatment. [Pg.350]

Anthraquinones have cathartic properties and inhibit water and electrolyte absorption. The principal agents in this group are sagrada from Rhamnus purshiana, senna, and danthron. Dermatitis of the anal area has been described and found to be due to the formation of an irritant anthraquinone (Doepfmer 1954 Ippen 1959 Bergstrom and Holst 1972). Two cases of exanthema have been reported in Sweden. [Pg.630]

Anthraquinone glycosides have long been used medicinally as cathartics and laxatives. Plant-derived drugs of this type include aloes Aloe species), cascara sagrada (Rhamnus purshiams), frangula (Rhamnus frangula), rhubarb (Rheum officinale), rumex or yellow dock (Rumex crispus) and senna (Cassia spp.). Many of the commercial preparations (patent medicines) based on these plants are readily available. [Pg.91]

Cascarosides A and B are responsible for most of the cathartic properties in cascara and act on the large intestine by inducing increased peristalsis (see senna)7 Cascarosides are more active than their hydrolyzed products (aloins and free anthraquinones). ... [Pg.150]
