Cassia angustifolia Vahl, Purgative effects, therapeutic characteristicsAbstract
A plant originally from tropical Africa, Senna (Cassia angustifolia Vahl.) made its way to the Indian state of Tamil Nadu in the eleventh century. Sennosides A and B, derived from immature pods and senna leaves, are used for their antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, and purgative effects. More than 80% of senna's biological action is attributed to its two stereoisomers, Sennosides A and B, which are dihydrodianthraone glucosides. The current name for the Senna species, which comprises Cassia angustifolia, Cassia senna L., and any hybrids between the two, is Senna alexandrina Mill. It is a Leguminosae family member. The little evergreen shrub called "senna" is native to Yemen in southern Arabia. The pods and leaves contain sennosides, which have laxative properties. The sennoside A and B hydroxy anthracene glycosides, which are present in the pods, flowers, and leaves of the senna plant, are responsible for the plant's therapeutic characteristics.
