Computation of Topological Indices for Aloe Emodin – A Potential Pharmacological Agent

Abstract

Aloe-emodin is an anthraquinone derivative that has been widely studied for its pharmacological potential. Graph theory provides a mathematical framework for modelling molecular structures and analysing their properties through numerical descriptors known as  topological indices. In this study, the molecular graph of aloe-emodin is considered, and several degree-based topological indices are calculated. These include classical indices such as the Randić connectivity index, Zagreb indices, and other related descriptors. The computed values provide quantitative insights into the structural characteristics of aloe-emodin and may contribute to the understanding of its chemical and biological properties.
