A Review of Phytochemical Studies of Cassia Species

A review of phytoconstituents and biological activities of Cassia species has been presented, considering the fact that there are about 580 species of this genus distributed all around the world. Only 46 species have been studied phytochemically. Hence an attempt is made to present a review on the phytochemical studies of Cassis sepcies which still remains as a potential source for bioactive molecules.
