technical field [0001] The invention belongs to medicine, especially the new medicine application of emodin extracted from natural plants, and specifically relates to their application in preparing products for treating depression. Background technique [0002] Emodin is a derivative of hydroxyanthraquinone, its molecular formula is C15H10O5, and its chemical name is 6-methyl-1,3,8-trihydroxyanthraquinone. It is one of the most widely distributed anthraquinones, found in many molds, lichens, higher plants and insects. Emodin is an active ingredient isolated from traditional Chinese medicines such as Rhubarb, Polygonum, Rhamna and Senna, and widely exists in the rhizome of Rhubarb, the bark and root bark of Rhamna, and the seeds of Cassia. Emodin is one of the active components of rhubarb, and accounts for a relatively large proportion of free anthraquinone in genuine rhubarb (0.01% in Rhubarb palmatum, Rpalmatum vartanguticum in Rhubarb tangut, and Roffieinale in medicinal ...
