Anthraquinone is used as a precursor for dye formation and agrochemicals, existing in different organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, plants, and some animals. Anthraquinone has biological activities: anticancer, antiinflammatory, diuretic, antiarthritic, antifungal, antibacterial, antimalarial and antioxidant. Anthraquinone also plays an important role in the primary metabolism of plants by acting on the electron transport chain through the inhibition of energy transfer in the photosynthetic process. Anthraquinone can intercalates into DNA and inhibits the topoisomerase II (topo II) enzyme, resulting in cell death via Apoptosis[1][2][3][4].
