Abstract
The proposed study experimentally intends to obtain the amount of phenolic and flavonoid contents in stems and legumes of Spartium junceum L. grown in Lebanon, to assess their anticancer activity on selected cell lines by XTT assay, and their antibacterial potential and finally, to evaluate their antioxidant activity using two different methods. The obtained results indicated that this plant exerted good antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-proliferative potentials and are rich with active compounds that can be used to prevent and treat many diseases like cardiovascular diseases among others.
