Abstract:

The Fabaceae family, also known as Leguminosae, represents one of the most important medicinal plant families utilized in traditional healthcare systems worldwide. In the Agra region of Uttar Pradesh, India, various Fabaceae species have long been employed in folklore medicine for treating numerous diseases and disorders. Recent scientific investigations have validated many traditional claims by identifying diverse phytochemicals and pharmacological activities associated with these plants. The present critical review examines recent updates regarding the ethnomedicinal significance, phytochemistry, pharmacological activities, and therapeutic applications of Fabaceae family plants commonly used in the Agra region. The review further discusses conservation challenges, modern research advancements, and future prospects for herbal drug development. Important medicinal species reviewed include Acacia nilotica, Albizia lebbeck, Butea monosperma, Cassia fistula, Clitoria ternatea, Dalbergia sissoo, Mimosa pudica, Pongamia pinnata, and Bauhinia species. Recent studies indicate strong antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, anticancer, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective activities among Fabaceae members. Scientific validation of ethnomedicinal plants may significantly contribute to pharmaceutical innovation and sustainable healthcare systems.
