Cassia angustifolia Sennosides

The most important anthraquinone glycosides are sennosides, found in the senna leaves and fruits (Cassia senna or Cassia angustifolia). These are, in fact, dimeric anthraquinone glycosides. However, monomeric anthraquinone glycosides are also present in this plant. [Pg.323]

The leaves and fruits of Cassia angustifolia and Cassia senna (senna) contain laxative anthranoid derivatives. Mutagenicity testing of sennosides has produced negative results in several bacterial and mammalian systems, except for a weak effect in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA102 (1,2). No evidence of reproductive toxicity of sennosides has been found in rats and rabbits (3). [Pg.1311]
