1,8-Dihydroxyanthraquinone, also known as danthrone, a synthetic compound stems from the naturally occurring alkaloid dantrolene. Notably, 1,8-Dihydroxyanthraquinone has been the subject of extensive study in both in vitro and in vivo scenarios. Despite this research, its mechanism of action remains partially shrouded in mystery. However, prevailing beliefs suggest that 1,8-Dihydroxyanthraquinone exerts its effects through the modulation of various ion channels, including calcium, sodium, and potassium channels. These channels play pivotal roles in regulating neuronal excitability, and 1,8-Dihydroxyanthraquinone′s influence on them is thought to underlie its properties.
