Chrysophanol is an anthraquinone found in the root of Rheum wittrochii. It may act to increase intracellular Ca2+ concentration and exhibit antifungal activities. Chrysophanol acts by modulating the activity of several enzymes and proteins involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell death. It is also believed to interact with several receptors, including the nuclear factor-kappa B, the cyclooxygenase-2, and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma.
