, mainly flavonoids and oleanane-type triterpenes. Among them, the major compounds were schaftoside-2-O-glucoside and saponarin. The crude methanol extract also showed the ability to scavenge free radicals effectively (DPPH: 13.12 mg TE/g; ABTS: 53.42 mg TE/g). In addition, it exhibited remarkable inhibitory activity on the studied enzymes (AChE: 2.03 mg GALAE/g; BChE: 1.67 mg GALAE/g; tyrosinase: 61.42 mg KAE/g; amylase: 0.19 mmol ACAE/g; glucosidase: 0.57 mmol ACAE/g) and a strong anti-proliferative effect against MCF-7 cancer cells (IC50: 16.44 μg/mL). Molecular docking studies showed that the major compound saponarin had the strongest affinity for interaction with the active site of tyrosinase, with a docking score of -12.5 kcal/mol.
