Novel Natural Candidates for Replacing Synthetic Additives in Nutraceutical and Pharmaceutical Areas: Two Senna Species (S. alata (L.) Roxb. and S. occidentalis (L.) Link).

ABSTRACT: Senna alata (L.) Roxb. and Senna occidentalis (L.) Link (family Fabaceae) are commonly used in different systems of traditional medicine to treat ailments. The present study was designed to determine the phytoconstituents, antioxidant, enzyme inhibition, and antimicrobial activities of the methanolic extract from the leaves of these two Senna species. A total of 75 phenolic compounds belonging to dihydroxybenzoic acids, dihydroxycinnamic acids, flavonoid C-glycosides, flavonoid O-glycosides, flavonoid aglycones, anthraquinone glycosides, and anthraquinone aglycones were identified. Flavonoid C-glycosides were only found in S. occidentalis while sennosides A, B, and C were only detected in S. alata. In line with its higher total phenolic and flavonoids con
