Cassia Senna botanically belongs to Caesalpiniaceae family, local name: Sana Makai. Plants are
recognized to play a crucial role as protective agent, major parts of the plant flowers leaves and
roots have been used as conventional drugs since hundreds of years. Phytochemicals are nonnutritive
compounds and contain disease prevention properties, most phytochemicals wideranging
of flavonoids, carotenoids and polyphenols, source of antimicrobial agents towards
pathogens. In the present work the fresh root, stem, depart, flower and seed of Cassia Senna
were collected from Chachro Taluka Chachro, District Tharparker, Sindh, Pakistan. This study
was designed to analyzed the biochemical profile, medicinal and antibacterial properties of
Cassia senna Linn. that’s grown in Sindh, Pakistan. The plant parts (Roots, Leaves, Flowers,
seed Stem) contain Total Moisture% (45-75%), Total Ash% ( 6.5-15%), Total Carbohydrates
(11-17.76 g/100g), Total Protein (3.13-15.2 g/100g), Total Phenolic Contents (1.52-2.66 g/100g), Total tannin (0.052-0.67 g/100g), Total Flavonoid (0.43-1.17 g/100g), Total antioxidative
contents(0.48-0.66 g/100g). The Cassia Senna medicinally rich source of macro-micro molecules
and antioxidative components, these research findings will contribute in the pharmaceutical
industries.
