Phytochemical Analyses, Antioxidant and Anticancer Activities of Ethanolic Leaf Extracts of <i>Moringa oleifera</i> Lam. Varieties

<i>Moringa oleifera</i> Lam. (Moringaceae) is revered as s ‘miracle tree’ due to its remarkable nutritional, medicinal and industrial uses. In our study, a comparative analysis of the nutritional parameters (antioxidant activity, sugar content—TSS, total soluble proteins—TSP and mineral...

The results of HPLC quantification of anticancer compounds [beta-sitosterol (0.244%), quercetin (0.216%), kaempferol (0.013%), and moringin (0.063%)] was also in consonance with that of MTT assay. In summary, the trend observed in all the parameters tested was Jaffna > PKM-1 > PKM-2 > ODC > conventional. Thus, Jaffna variety has a better potential to combat malnutrition and cancer and must be recommended for commercial plantations.Bilques FarooqBhupendra KoulDeveshi MahantDhananjay YadavMDPI AGarticleJaffnaHPLCFRAPmoringinMTT assayHepG2BotanyQK1-989ENPlants, Vol 10, Iss 2348, p 2348 (2021)
