Abstract :
In the India there is a good biodiversity in plants. Plants based medicinal products used as integrated part of treatment on most of traditional systems of medicines. Sesbania grandiflora is a plant which used traditionally for many medicinal used which belongs in family Fabaceae. Present study was about investigated the Physicochemical and Phytochemical studies on selected plant such as Sesbania grandiflora. For the study Soxhlet apparatus was used for extraction of plant materials with using water, ethanol and chloroform as extractive solvents. Standard chemicals and methods were used for the qualitative determination of plant S. grandiflora flowers extract. The study investigation was followed to determine the presence of chemical compound in flowers part of plant as well as to investigate the quality of drug. Result found that the different flower extract may presence of alkaloids, steroids, tannins, sterols, flavonoid etc. The pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) induced seizure model was used for testing anticonvulsant activity of ethanolic, aqueous and chloroform extracts(100mg/kg) of Sesbania grandiflora flowers. The extracts significantly (*p < 0>
