What is it about?
This study evaluates the antioxidant, antiglycation, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, cell viability and enzymatic inhibition activities (α-amylase, α-glucosidase, acetylcholinesterase, and lipase) activities of L. alba ethanolic extract (EE-La) and its organic fractions.

Why is it important?
Antimicrobial and antiparasitic activities were observed against bacterial. Phytochemical analysis revealed high phenolic/flavonoid content, with mass spectrometry identifying. L. alba demonstrates multifunctional therapeutic potential, supported by its antioxidant, enzymatic inhibition, and antimicrobial activities.
Perspectives
These findings not only robustly validate its ethnopharmacological uses but also underscore its significant promise as a source of bioactive compounds for combating oxidative stress, metabolic, and infectious diseases.
