Abstract

Physcion diglucoside, a new compound isolated from rhubarb roots, showed in mice, orally administered, a laxative activity similar to physcion monoglucoside. However, with physcion diglucoside the onset of the purgative effect was observed 2 hours later than with physcion monoglucoside; physcion itself was devoid of a remarkable laxative effect.
