EVALUATION OF SAPONINS FROM SESBANIA SESBAN L. MERR FOR ITS ANTIFERTILITY EFFECT IN FEMALE ALBINO RATS
Payal Rahul Dande*, Chandrakant Bonde, Nancy Pandita
ABSTRACT Saponins are natural glycoside compounds that exhibit structuredependent biological activities. Present study was undertaken to evaluate the saponins from Sesbania sesban leaf, at a dose of 100mg/kg and 200mg/kg, for possible antifertility activity in female albino rats of normal estrus cycle. The animals were observed for its effect on estrous cycle, implantation and further on abortive activity. The vaginal cornification & uterine weight assay was carried to determine the estrogenic activity of the saponin extract. Saponins from the leaves of Sesbania sesban showed highly significant dose dependent anti-implantation (56% & 86%) and abortifacient (75% and 92%) activity at both 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg (P Keywords: Sesbania sesban, Saponin, antifertility, anti-implantation, Abortifacient, Estrogenic activity, estrous cycle.
