Snehal Gagare, Dr Partima S Jadhav.

Abstract :

 

Sesuvium portulacastrum (S. portulacastrum) Aizoaceae is commonly known as Sea Purslane. It is a frequent pioneer species in the backshore zone of coastal beaches, where sand movement is influenced by prevalent winds near the born crest. This article deals with the overview of S. portulacastrum, its phytochemical constituents pharmacological applications and its various medicinal uses. The extract of leaves and stems has different phytochemicals as polyphenols, terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, steroid and volatile components.   It possess a number of bioactive constituents like Phytol, Squalene, Vitamin E, Benzoic acid, Hexadecanoic acid, ethyl ester, Oleic acid, eicosyl ester. There are antibacterial, antifungal, Fatty acid Composition, antimicrobial, essential oil, antioxidant, EDTA–Enhanced Phytoremediation of Lead–Contaminated Soil activities carried out on this plant. This review could help the researchers to undertake the further investigations in these directions.
