Lawsonia Inermis: Its Anatomy and its Antimalarial, Antioxidant and Human Breast Cancer Cells MCF7 Activities

Abstract

Apigenin-7-glucoside, apigenin-4'-glucoside, luteolin-7-glucoside, and luteolin-3'-glucoside were isolated from leaf extracts of L. innermis. Its methanol extract yielded -sitosterol, stigmasterol and 1,2-dihydroxy-4-glucosyloxynaphthalene. The leaves of L. inermis yielded luteolin, acacetin-7-O-glucoside, glucoside of -sitosterol Two pentacyclic triterpenes isolated from the bark of L. inermis (henna) were identified as 3,30-dihydroxylup-20(29)-ene (hennadiol) and (20S)-3,30-dihydroxylupane
