Atrochrysone and torosachrysone play an important role in the biosynthesis of the common
polyketide-derived anthraquinones, such as emodin and physcion [1]. We report here for the
first time the occurrence in nature of the pre-anthraquinone 1, named aloegramonol, which
can be considered as the precursor of the other common anthraquinone, chrysophanol,
Recently, the pre-anthraquinone aloechrysone (2) has been reported to exist in the roots of
Aloe berhana [2].
