Ethnopharmacological relevance Cassia abbreviata is a small to medium sized branched umbrella-shaped . It is widely spread in the tropics, especially in Africa, having a long history in traditional medicine for the treatment of numerous conditions such as headaches, diarrhea, constipation, some skin diseases, malaria, Materials and methods HPLC-PDA-ESI-MS/MS analysis allowed the identification of the secondary metabolites of the methanol extract. DPPH and FRAP assays were used to determine the antioxidant activities in vitro. Using the C. elegans model, survival rates under induced oxidative stress, intracellular Phsp-16.2 : in vivo. The in vivo hepatoprotective potential of the root extract was evaluated for D-galactosamine (D-GaIN)-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. The activity of the content (GSH), as well as albumin and total Results and conclusions C. abbreviata root extract is rich in polyphenolics, particularly epi)-Catechin, ( epi)-afzelechin, ( epi)-guibourtinidol, and ( ent )-cassiaflavan The total phenolic content amounted for 474 mg/g root extract expressed as 50 of 6.3μg/mL in DPPH and 19.15mM FeSO 4 equivalent/mg sample in FRAP assay. In C. elegans model, the extract (200μg/mL) was able to increase the survival rate by 44.56% and reduced the ROS level to 61.73%, compared to control group. Pretreatment of rats with 100mg extract/kg (b. wt.) reduced MDA by 47.36% and elevated GSH by 59.1%. The extract caused a significant reduction of ALT, AST and GGT activities ...

• • This is the first report on the evaluation of the antimicrobial and insecticidal potential of the crude extracts of the different aerial parts (mature leaves, flowers, pulp and seeds) of Cassia abbreviata. • • Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of different bioactive groups of compounds in the different extracts. • • Elucidation of the major bioactive compounds in the most promising extracts was carried out by GC-MS (Gas chromatography- mass spectrometry). • • Hexadecanoic acid, 2‑hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl ester, Phenol,2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl), Octadecanoic acid, 2‑hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl ester, Nonacosane, l-Proline, N-(3-trifluoro methyl benzoyl)-, nonyl ester, Nonadecane, Silikonfett se30 (grevels), Heneicosane, (E)−7-Methoxy-6-(3′-methylbuta-1′,3′-dienyl) coumarins, Silane,cyclohexyl dimethoxy methyl, 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester, 2,6,10,14,18,22-Tetracosahexaene, 2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyl-(all-E), Lup-20(29)-en-3-one and .gamma.-Tocopherol were detected for the first time in C. abbreviata. We describe the phytochemical profile, antimicrobial and insecticidal activity of the aerial parts (mature leaves, flowers, pulp, seeds) of Cassia abbreviata Oliv. The extracts were prepared by the maceration technique with methanol, petroleum ether and dichloromethane. The antimicrobial potential of the extracts was evaluated by the microdilution method. The insecticidal activity of the extracts was tested against ...

Cassia abbreviata Long Pod Cassia, Sjambok Pod Family: Subfamily: Caesalpinioideae Origin: South Africa Cassia abbreviata grows to a height of 5 to 10 feet, and blooms yellow-orange flowers in summer and fall.
