Abstract

Neptunia oleracea is an important medicinal plant used in treating various ailments in different countries. The plant contains chlorophyll-related compounds, amino acids, vitamins, etc. The presence of pheophorbide a and its related compounds make this plant a promising antitumor plant. The plant is used for sewage water treatment and is also utilized in nitrogen fixation in a wetland ecosystem. The present review emphasizes the traditional uses, biological activites and phytochemistry of N. oleracea.
