- Precursor for norepinephrine; used to synthesize epinephrine and dopamine
- Has been used for withdrawal from drug addiction

Valine*
- Has a stimulant effect
- Combines with valine, leucine and isoleucine for muscle metabolism, tissue repair and nitrogen balance

II. Anthraquinones and Anthrones (exists in natural Aloe; removed from processed Aloe)

Aloe-Emodin
Aloin
- The name given to the mixture of substances found in the exudate of Aloe which includes phenolic and quinonoid compounds (Plaskett)
- Has fairly powerful purgative effect, not only affecting the intestines but also encouraging menstrual flow (Plaskett)
- May possess some of the bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal and anti-parasitic effects found in Aloe (Plaskett)
Aloenin
- Not an anthraquinone or anthrone; actually a "quinonoid phenyl pyrone" (Plaskett)
- Inhibits gastric secretion and therefore may have some activity against ulcers or other gastric disorders that are exacerbated by excess acidity (Plaskett)

III. Enzymes

Alkaline Phosphate
Amylase
- Splits and converts starches into fuel for the body
Bradykininase
- Bradykinin is a polypeptide substance that increases vascular permeability which in turn exacerbates inflammation; bradykininase, an enzyme that breaks down bradykinin, reduces inflammation
Carboxypeptidase
- Hydrolizes one of the inflammatory mediators responsible for burn wound edema or fluid leakage to the tissue
- Analgesic
Catalase
Cellulase
Gamma Transaminase
Lactic Dehydrogenase
Lipase
- splits fat which is then utilized to nourish the skin cells, protect the body against bruises and blows and to ward off the entrance of infectious virus cells and allergic conditions
