products with various bioactivities, including antibacterial, antiviral, cytotoxic and antitumor,
which make it play an important role in recent research. In the previous study, many researchers have
reported anthraquinones from Rubiaceae in different aspects. The present paper provides an overview
of the bioactive properties of new naturally occurring anthraquinones and its structural diversity that
