Abstract
The C-glucosyl bond of barbaloin, a major purgative principle of aloe, was cleaved with human intestinal bacteria under anaerobic conditions, yielding aloe-emodin anthrone and aloe-emodin bianthrone. Fecal flora of humans had the most potent transforming activity but those rats and mice had less or no activity.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
