| Description | 2-Hydroxy-1-methoxyanthraquinone (Alizarin 1-methyl ether) is a natural product isolated from Morinda lucida Benth. (Rubiaceae) with antibacterial activity. |
| In vitro | Bioactivity-guided fractionation led to the successful isolation of antiosteoporotic components. Among them, 2-hydroxy-1-methoxy- anthraquinone can promote osteoblast proliferation. Taken together, the antiosteoporotic activity of M. officinalis and its anthraquinones suggest therapeutic potential against osteoporosis.[1] |
