Abstract

Genus sesbania has six different species, in which sesban is very common plant belonging to the family fabaceae commonly available in India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and other tropical countries. It is mostly grown over the dikes among rice paddies, beside roadsides and in backyard vegetable gardens depicted as soft, semi or vaguely woody 1 - 8 m high perennial nitrogen fixing trees. It can grow up to 8 m achieving a diameter of around 12 cm. Its growth is exceptionally rapid to reaching a height of 4 - 5 m in just 6 months. This plant is very common because of its rapid growth besides its use as medicine or as well as fuel wood. This plant also contains several chemical constituents, which are useful for medicinal purpose including tri-terpenoids, steroids, glycosides saponins, tannins, vitamins, protein, carbohydrates and amino acids. This component possesses lots of medicinal activities such as anti-fertility, hepato-protective, central nervous system (CNS) stimulant, antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-nociceptive. In this review, such features are described according to the importance of plants-based natural products in human life.
