  • Abstract:
  • Sesbania grandiflora (Linn) belonging to family Leguminosae, commonly known as sesbania. Sesbania grandiflora (Linn) often planted for its edible flowers and pods in tropical countries. It is originated in India Southeast Asia and grows primarily in hot and humid areas of the world. It is also found from northern Luzonto Mindanao in settled areas at low and medium altitudes and in the Philippines. Different parts of plant, like root, stem, bark, leaves, flowers, fruit are used as medicine and food. Traditionally this plant used for treatment of disease like diarrhoea, dysentery, fever, cough, and cold. The antioxidant properties of Sesbania grandiflora are due to the presence of diverse types of phytochemical constituents. The leaves of plant have been used in local traditional medicine since ancient times. The other of species sesbania are Robinia grandi-flora Linn, Aeshynomene grandiflora Linn, Sesban grandiflora Poir, Agati grandiflora (L.) Desv. A small, erect, quick-growing short-lived, soft-wooded tree sparsely branched. Bole straight and cylindrical, the wood white and soft. The tree is 5 to 12 meters in height. The leaves are 20 to 30 centimetres long and pinnate having 20 to 40 pairs of leaflets, which are 2.5 to 3.5 centimetres long. The flowers are white and 7 to 9 centi-mete long. The pods are linear, 20 to 60 centimetres long, 7 to 8 millimetres wide, pendulous, and somewhat curved, and contain many seeds. Sesbania grandiflora one of the medicinal plants used for anti-oxidant activity, it also has pharmacological properties like anti-cancer, anti-helminthic, anti-diabetic, anti-ulcer, hepato-protective, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, hypolipidemic, anti-tuberculosis, cardio protective, anti-arthritic, immuno-modulatory, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, wound healing and as a tablet binder. It contains several kinds of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannin, diterpenes, triterpenoids, glycosides and phenols. This plant found numbers of phytoconstituent these substances have the major impact on diabetes mellitus (hypoglycaemic activity).
