Senna angustifolia

Peroxidases purified from plants have also been used for the degradation of dyes. Purified peroxidase of Saccharum spontaneum leaf could degrade a variety of dyes ranging from the 70% to 100% in 1 h [144]. A peroxidase of Ipomeapalmata was also able to transform different dyes, but less effectively. A peroxidase purified from Senna angustifolia oxidized alizarin and purpurin anthraquinones efficiently to produce the respective bianthraquinones the same reaction was catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase [145],... 

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.

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).

Pharmacopeias of Europe, India, and China specify that senna leaf must contain a minimum of 2.5% hydroxy-anthracene glycosides, calculated as sennoside B. Senna fruit typically contains 3-5% sennosides. Pharmacopeias of Europe and India recognize Senna alexandrina as two species, S. angustifolia, which must contain a minimum of 3.4%, and S. acutifolia, which must contain a minimum of 2.2% hydroxyanthracene glycosides, calculated as sennoside B. 

S. A-G occur in the leaves and fruits of Cassia species (C. senna, C. angustifolia, Fabaceae) and in rhubarb roots, sometimes as oxalyl derivatives (senno-sides E, F). S. are mostly formed from the corresponding anthrone glycosides when the senna leaves are dried. Drugs containing S. are used in therapy for acute constipation (see table, p. 581).
