The crude leaf extract of Aloe grandidentata was notably anti-inflammatory, chronic antihyperglycemic (100 mg/kg b.wt.) and a potent antimicrobial agent compared to standard positive drugs. Phytochemical studies of the leaf extract revealed the isolation and characterization of seven compounds; two new compounds; 1,1',8,8'-tetrahydroxy-3'- acetyl-3-methyl -5,5' bianthracene -9, 9',10,10'-tetraone (2), and 1,6,8-trihydroxy-7-methoxy-3- methyl anthraquinone (3) and five known compounds, β-sitosterol (1), emodin (4), chrysophanol (5), physicon (6) and β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucoside (7). This is the first report of the isolation of emodin from genus Aloe and physicon from family Liliaceae. All structures of the isolated compounds were determined using several spectroscopic techniques; UV, IR, MS, NMR (1H NMR and 13 C NMR) and by comparison with literature data.
