2-Hydroxyemodin
2-Hydroxyemodin is an active metabolite of emodin in the hepatic microsomes. Emodin is an anthraquinone present in fungal metabolites and constituent of rhubarb. 2-Hydroxyemodin proves to be mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium TA1537 in the absence of activation system.

Genotoxicity/Mutagenicity Study
The bacterial reverse mutation assay detects point mutations that restore amino-acid prototrophy in auxotrophic Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli tester strains; after exposure to a test article, mutagenic activity is read out as an increased number of revertant colonies on minimal agar compared with the vehicle control. The assay uses tester strains with different mutation targets so that base-substitution and frameshift mutagens can be detected, and testing is performed with and without exogenous mammalian metabolic activation because some chemicals require biotransformation to become mutagenic.
