“…Anthraquinone derivatives are a group of phenolic compounds, present in plants, usually in the form of oxidised 1,8-dihydroxyanthrone with a specific substitution pattern (Kosalec et al, 2013). Emodin is a biologically active, naturally-occurring anthraquinone derivative from plant (Sucheta et al, 2011), presents spectra absorbance in methanol between 200 and 580 nm, with absorption maxima (A max ) located at 203.10, 221.72, 253.59, 263.85, 289.43, and 436.83 nm (Marković et al, 2008).…”
