ABSTRACT
Morinda (Rubiaceae), including the species Morinda
citrifolia L., is made up of around 80 species. M. citrifolia
L., commonly called Indian Mulberry, or Noni, is a small
tropical evergreen shrub or tree indigenously found in open
coastal regions at sea level and in forest areas up to about 1
300 feet above sea level. These include anti-bacterial, antiviral,
and anti-cancer activities as well as analgesic effects.
The increasing use of noni products as dietary supplements
suggested an urgent need to isolate and identify major
compounds from noni plant.
Keywords: Morinda, Noni, anti-bacterial, anti-cancer.
