Functions: 
It has been reported to be effective in Type 2 diabetes, based on the result of an animal study. In the study, giving emodin to mice with diet-induced obesity lowered blood glucose and serum insuli, improved insuli resistance and lead to more healthy levels of lipid in the blood. It also decreased body weight and reduced central fat mass. It is used as laxative.It belongs to a family of compounds called anthraquinones, which have shown anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. A study suggests that emodin may inhibit cancer-cell growth by blocking VEGFR signaling and indicates that emodin can be used as a potential inhibitor for tumor angiogenesis.Thus, it may display a range of biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antitumor and neuroprotective effects. Thus, it may benefit people at risk of cancers, but clinical evidence is needed.
