The word Aloe in pharmacopoeias and formularies means a drug derived from the dried leaf juice. This has always created confusion because the leaves of the genus Aloe are the source of two products that are quite different in their chemical composition and therapeutic properties aloe latex and aloe gel. These two products are obtained from two different specialized cells, latex from pericyclic cells and gel from parenchymatous cells. Therefore, the term juice must be avoided, as it could mean either the latex from the pericyclic cells or the gel after extraction from the leaf. However, to add to the confusion, there is also a preparation obtained from the whole leaf (total extract) and another obtained from the aloe wood, the so-called lignaloe or aloe of the Bible, a fragrant wood obtained from an entirely different plant that was once used as an incense (Capasso et al 1998). 

Experimental studies have also reported that aloe juice has antimetastatic activity and aloe extract inhibits induction of preneoplastic hepatocellular lesions. Antitumor effects of aloe extract may also depend on the ability to augment tumor-specific immunity.

To support its safety. Van Wyk [23] mentions the medicinal uses of the Cape aloe. The yellow juice from the leaves is dried and a small crystal (the size twice that of a match head) of the dried substance is taken orally as a laxative. Its use as a laxative has also been important from a commercial point of view. The export market has been a valuable source of revenue for SA. It may also be used for arthritis, but at a much smaller dose than that required for a catharsis. Van Wyk mentions that eczema, hypertension and stress have also been included in the hst of indications for this product. One is uncertain as to how these indications were arrived at and whether there is any substantive evidence of efficacy, with the use of aloes, in the treatment of these conditions.

The aloe latex or aloe juice is obtained from the yellow latex of peri cyclic cells found beneath the epidermis (Swanson, 1995). It is dried to yield a solid material called "aloe" that contains anthraquinones (Leung, 1980). The specific constituents of the latex include barbaloin, which is metabolized to the laxative aloe-emodin (Leung, 1980 Blumenthal, 1998), iso-barbaloin, chrysophanic acid (Leung, 1980), and aloin (Blumenthal, 1998). The term "aloin" also refers to a crystalline, concentrated form of the dried latex (aloe).
