Description
Aloin, also known as barbaloin, is a compound noted in the exudate of at least 68 Aloe species. It is used as a stimulant-laxative, treating constipation by inducing bowel movements. In May 2002, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a ruling that aloe laxatives are no longer generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and effective, meaning that aloin-containing products are no longer available in over-the-counter drug products in the United States, because they may be carcinogenic and more data is needed to establish otherwise.Aloin may also act as a natural anti-tumor anthraquinone glycoside as well as protect fibroblasts from oxidative stress damage.
