大黄素甲醚可用于研究抗生素、抗真菌剂、具有生物活性的小分子和细胞生物学。 大黄素甲醚已用于一项研究中，以测试胡桃醌 C 对人癌细胞的细胞毒性。 大黄素甲醚还被用于研究大黄大黄在高脂饮食模型中的代谢调节作用的研究中。 Physcion is an anthraquinone derivative and is available as the active constituent of Chinese medicinal plants such as Rhubarb, Polygonum cuspidatum and Reynoutria multiflora. It exhibits various biological activities such as antitumor, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant and antihuman cytomegalovirus activity. Application： Physcion can be used to study antibiotics, antifungals, bioactive small molecules and cell biology. Physcion has been used in a study to test the cytotoxicity of juglanthraquinone C on human cancer cells. Physcion has also been used in a study that investigated the metabolic regulatory effects of Rheum undulatum in a high-fat diet model
