Usage

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Aloin is used as a stimulant-laxative for the treatment of constipation due to its natural occurrence in Aloe plant species and its historical use in this application.
Used in Anticancer Applications:
Aloin is being investigated as an antineoplastic agent, particularly for its potential to enhance melanogenesis and transglutaminase activity. This application is still under research, and its effectiveness in cancer treatment is yet to be fully established.
Used in Cosmetics Industry:
Given its potential to enhance melanogenesis, Aloin may also find use in the cosmetics industry for products aimed at improving skin pigmentation and promoting an even skin tone. However, further research and development are necessary to confirm its safety and efficacy in this application.

Safety Profile

Poison by subcutaneous andintravenous routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Whenheated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes.A carthartic and purgative.

Purification Methods

Aloin forms the monohydrate as lemon yellow crystals on crystallisation from H2O (450g/1.5L) which has a lower m ~70-80o than the anhydrous substance. [Cahn & Simonsen J Chem Soc 2573 1932, Hay & Haynes J Chem Soc 3141 1956.]
