Abstract

The experimental researches of applying emodin for prevention and treatment of liver diseases in recent years were reviewed. Emodin can inhibit the growth of liver tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, inducing cell apoptosis is one of its mechanisms. Emodin also has the effects of liver protection, anti-liver fibrosis, and so on, the mechanisms for those effects still need more studies.
