Research Excerpts

Overview

ExcerptReference
"Aloesin is an active constituent of the herb aloe vera and plays a crucial role in anti-inflammatory activity, ultraviolet protection, and antibacterium. "( Chen, XJ; Lu, HS; Lv, RW; Qu, XD; Wang, Y; Zhang, LQ, 2017)
"Aloesin is a chromone that is a component of Aloe spp. "( Lynch, B; Roberts, A; Simon, R, 2011)
"Aloesin is a C-glycosylated chromone compound isolated from aloe, and it is difficult to synthesize because of C-glycosyl moiety in the molecule."( Lee, SK; Park, HR; Park, JH; Park, MK; Park, YK; Piao, LZ, 2002)

Treatment

ExcerptReference
"Aloesin treatment accelerated wound closure rates in hairless mice by inducing angiogenesis, collagen deposition and granulation tissue formation."( Chae, JK; Do, SG; Jeong, M; Kim, SY; Wahedi, HM; Yoon, H, 2017)
"Aloesin treatment suppressed pigmentation by 34%, arbutin by 43.5%, and the cotreatment by 63.3% compared with the control (n = 15; P < 0.05)."( Choi, S; Chung, MH; Kim, JE; Lee, SK; Park, YI, 2002)
