Abstract:In African and Asian ethnomedicinal studies, Desmodium velutinum (Willd) has been used in the treatment of tooth and head aches, diarrhoea, cancer, and haematuria and as repellent and aphrodisiac. The study is aimed at determining polyphenol profile and antioxidant activities of D. velutinum methanol leaf extract and its ethyl acetate and butanol fraction. The study also investigated the effect of this plant on lung adenocarcinoma (A549) cell line. The polyphenol constituents in D. velutinum were evaluated wit… Show more
