| emodin |
is an anthraquinone found in cascara sagrada, rhubarb, and other plants. Emodin is cathartic; it stimulates the cathartic action by irritation of the intestinal walls. This differs from anthraquinone glycosides, which are absorbed into the bloodstream and stimulate the appropriate nerves.
