ABSTRACT
In the basic healthcare systems of underdeveloped nations, medicinal plants are regarded as the
most significant. A plant's medicinal qualities are determined by the biochemical components
found in the plant sections used to make medication. The Fabaceae family includes the well-known
medicinal herb Senna auriculata. The goal of the current investigation was to assess the
phytochemical screening and identification of potential bioactive ingredients in the various extract
of flowers of Senna auriculata. Alkaloids, glycosides, terpenoids, phenols, tannins, and flavonoids
were among the phytochemicals found in the various fraction of Senna auriculate flower. The
three extracts have 21 bioactive components, the main phytocompound in different extracts being
13-Docosenamide (Z), along with phytol, resorcinol, vitamin E, ?-Sitosterol, and resorcinol
monoacetate. Therefore, the plant's medicinal properties may be due to the presence of thesehytochemicals. Hence, more Numerous physiologically active compounds have been found in
Senna auriculata flower extracts, necessitating further biological and pharmacological study.
