Journal Title: International Current Pharmaceutical Journal - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
[i]Sesbania grandiflora[/i], a plant of Fabaceae is full of various pharmacologically important components like, alkaloids, flavanoids, tannins, triterpenes, gums, mucilage, and anthraquinone glycosides. From different previous research documents, various functions of different parts like leaf, flower, seed and also other parts of the plant have been known. For this experiment the leaf extract is used. Basically, the objective of the research work was to bring out the pharmacological effects (CNS and analgesic activity) of the leaf extract of the plant. The investigations had brought out the significant effects of extract. Hence, CNS depressant and analgesic drug can be produced from the leaf of [i]Sesbania grandiflora[/i] through a suitable formulation.
