Emodin (1) is the major bioactive compound of several herb species, which belongs to anthraquinone class of compound. As a part of our drug discovery program, large quantities of emodin (1) was isolated from the roots of Rheum emodi and a library of novel emodin derivatives 2-15 were prepared to evaluate their antiproliferative activities against HepG2, MDA-MB-231 and NIH/3T3 cells lines. The derivatives 3 and 12 strongly inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell line with an IC₅₀ of 5.6, 13.03 and 10.44, 5.027, respectively, which is comparable to marketed drug epirubicin (III). The compounds 3 and 12 were also capable of inducing cell cycle arrest and caspase dependent apoptosis in HepG2 cell lines and exhibit DNA intercalating activity. These emodin derivatives hold promise for developing safer alternatives to the marketed epirubicin.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
