This work investigated the content of total polyphenolic compounds and flavonoids as well as their toxicity and larvicidal and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities. The antioxidant activities of two medicinal  Senna  species extracts ( Senna cana  and  Senna pendula ) were also investigated. The ethanol extract of the leaves of  S. cana  and the ethanol extract of the branches of  S. pendula  presented the best performance in the DPPH/FRAP and ABTS/ORAC assays, respectively. For the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, the hexane extract of the flowers of  S. pendula  presented the lowest IC 50  value among the ethanol extracts of the leaves of  S. cana  and showed the best performance in some assays. The hexane extract of the leaves of  S. pendula  and the hexane extract of the branches of  S. cana  were moderate to  Artemia salina  Leach. In the quantification of phenols and flavonoids, the ethanol extract of the leaves of  S. cana  presented the best results. The ethanol extracts of the leaves of  S. cana  were found to be rich in antioxidants, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids. These results indicate the antioxidant potential of the extracts of  Senna  species and can be responsible for some of the therapeutic uses of these plants.
