moringa oleifera flower hexane extract

Moringa oleifera flower hexane extract (MOF-H) is a botanical extract derived from the flowers of the *Moringa oleifera* tree, commonly known as the drumstick tree. The extract is typically produced using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) with hexane as a non-polar solvent to isolate specific lipophilic phytochemicals. Research into MOF-H focuses on its potential therapeutic properties, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. In vitro studies have demonstrated that the extract possesses cytotoxic effects against breast cancer (MCF-7) and ovarian cancer (ES-2) cell lines. Additionally, it has shown antifungal activity and the ability to scavenge free radicals, although it is generally found to be less potent in these regards compared to more polar extracts like ethyl acetate or methanol.
