Emodin is a widespread hydroxylated anthraquinone and occurs in different Chinese herbs (rhubarb, aloe, polygonum). The pharmacological effects indicated that emodin showed anti-tumor, vasorelaxant, antibacterial, cathartic and diuretic activities and has a promising clinical value. In this paper, recent advances in the chemical synthesis, structural modification and biological activities of natural emodin derivatives are reviewed.

Key words: emodin, chemical synthesis, structural modification, progress
