Two typical noni trees grow in locations close to each other in Keputih Permai, Surabaya City, and have certain characteristics that can be investigated further. From phytochemical testing of the leaves of both types of plants, the results showed that both gave positive values to be declared as plants containing antioxidant compounds. The antioxidant compound content of noni leaves was then compared with dry green tea from the local market. The design was completely randomized design, with 3 levels of treatment factors based on the type of ingredients used, namely green tea, narrow-leaf noni (Morinda officinalis), and wide-leaf noni (Morinda elliptica). From the experimental results, it is known that the total phenol, total flavonoids, the ability to counteract DPPH, and the ability to reduce iron ions of green tea are higher than Morinda sp. Whereas when compared between each type of Morinda, it is known that M. officinalis is superior to M. elliptica with total phenol 73.37± 1.87 mgGAE/Kg extract, total flavonoids 0.92± 0.1 mgEQ/L extract, DPPH free radical scavenging ability 228.58± 2.19 mgGAE/L extract, and iron ion reducing ability 815.17± 16.85 mgGAE/L extract. Noni leaves can be used as a promising herbal drink ingredient.

A current economic trend is to highlight natural resources and many plant species are rich sources of anthraquinones. Anthraquinones are a diverse group of natural compounds extensively studied in various articles. Commonly used for dyes with 30% of it contributed to textile industry. Anthraquinone plays an important chromophore in cancer chemotherapy. They are widely distributed in Rubiaceae family and exhibit various biological activities. Malaysian Rubiaceae, especially plants from Morinda, Rennellia, Psychotria, and Prismatomeris genera, have been known to be rich in anthraquinone content, especially in the roots. The current review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the isolation of anthraquinones from Rubiaceae family in Malaysia. It also discussed the taxonomy, chemistry, and pharmacology studies of the genus. Through the years, 45 anthraquinones have been reported from various species of Rubiaceae demonstrating promising pharmacological activities. The information presented in this review can provide a scientific foundation for future research on the possible therapeutic applications of the species. Enhancing the links between plant biological effects and traditional uses with their chemical characterization.

“…Given this diversity of plant species, we highlight here the species Morinda citrifolia popularly known as Noni. This species has been widely used for medicinal purposes (Oladeji et al 2022). Even though much is known about the extracts of this plant, little is known about the lignins of this species.…”

Morinda citrifolia, commonly known as noni, is a plant belonging to the Rubiaceae family. This plant has a high biological potential, which has different biological properties, including antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antitumor and anti-inflammatory. In this work, the immunomodulatory, antitumor and antimicrobial activities of lignin isolated from Morinda citrifolia leaves were investigated. The results showed that this lignin was not cytotoxic and that it was able to promote activation and differentiation of immune cells in addition to inducing the production of antiinflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, it was able to inhibit the growth of different tumor and microbial cells in vitro. This pioneering study on these different activities shows that the lignin isolated in this study can be used as a raw material to obtain biomedical and pharmaceutical products.
