Abstract: This study was conducted to assess the phytochemical constituents in Cassia auriculata Leaf extracts using standard methods. The qualitative analysis of bioactive compounds for the three extracts have been analyzed in this study and there is wide range of phytochemical compounds present in the three extracts. Cassia auriculata extract was found to have a wide range of bioactive compounds like alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, proteins, phenols, reducing sugars, steroids and tannins. In the present study ethanolic extract of Cassia auriculata was analyzed using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and the compound structures were identified with help of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. GC-MS analysis of test plant revealed the presence of 48 bioactive compounds. The prevailing compounds were Orcinol (25.54%), Eptacosanol (10.22%), Utanol, -Dihydro-Benzofuran (5.76%), 3-Methyl-, Acetate (5.45%), Eptacosanol (4.50%), Eptacosanol (4.15%), Gmast-5-En-3-Ol, (3.Beta.)- (3.97%), 2,5,7,8-Tetramethyl-2-(4,8,12-Trimethyltridecy (3.63%), Benzamide, N-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-2-Pyrrolidi (3.52%) etc are important bioactive compounds which act as essential drugs for dangerous diseases and disorders and other compounds are used in antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cytotoxicity and cancer preventive activities.
