Ligustrum   ovalifolium    (family   Oleaceae  ) is a flowering plant with reported anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hypotensive, and hypoglycemic activities. The present study investigated the phytochemical components and biological activities of    L.   ovalifolium    leaves. Results showed that ethyl acetate extract has the highest potential to reduce cell growth in HeLa, T47D, and MDA-MB-231 cell lines with IC₅₀ values of 0.047, 0.07, and 0.072 mg/mL, respectively. Based on the LD 50  value, the tumor-bearing mice were IP injected with 12.5 mg/kg of ethyl acetate extract. Tumor growth was significantly reduced (-43.1%) compared to the control group. According to the LC-MS analysis, Apigenin-7-O-glucoside was the flavonoid with the highest percentage value in    L.   ovalifolium    leaves.  DPPH  assay exhibited antioxidant activity of ethanol and water extracts with the percentage of scavenging around 91% at a concentration of 200 µg/mL. As well, the assessment of liver and kidney functions of the experimented animals showed no toxicity effect compared to the control result. All things considered, the outcomes of this study revealed an antitumor potential of    L.   ovalifolium    leaves extracts, hence this activity may arise from the presence of different potent flavonoids and the antioxidant potential. Nevertheless, further investigations are needed to determine the targets and signaling pathways that are affected by    L.   ovalifolium    leaves extracts.
