emodin and Depression

emodin has been researched along with Depression in 3 studies

Emodin: Purgative anthraquinone found in several plants, especially RHAMNUS PURSHIANA. It was formerly used as a laxative, but is now used mainly as a tool in toxicity studies.
emodin : A trihydroxyanthraquinone that is 9,10-anthraquinone which is substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 1, 3, and 8 and by a methyl group at position 6. It is present in the roots and barks of numerous plants (particularly rhubarb and buckthorn), moulds, and lichens. It is an active ingredient of various Chinese herbs.

Depression: Depressive states usually of moderate intensity in contrast with MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER present in neurotic and psychotic disorders.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Depression is a complex neuropsychiatric disease involved multiple targets and signaling pathways."1.62Mechanistic insights into the anti-depressant effect of emodin: an integrated systems pharmacology study and experimental validation. ( Fang, YY; Su, HF; Tian, Q; Wang, XM; Ye, CY; Zeng, P; Zhang, T, 2021)
"Treatment with emodin normalized the change of plasma corticosterone level, which demonstrated that emodin could partially restore CUMS-induced HPA axis impairments."1.40Emodin opposes chronic unpredictable mild stress induced depressive-like behavior in mice by upregulating the levels of hippocampal glucocorticoid receptor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
