Abstract
Cassia sophera Linn (Leguminosae) plants are widely distributed worldwide, and find immense applications in traditional systems of medicine in many countries. The plant has been partly explored by various research groups in the world. In our present study, two oils (OL-1 & OL-2) from aerial parts and roots of Cassia sophera have been evaluated by GC/MS using Perkin-Elmer Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry and comparison of spectral data with the existing in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. GC/MS analysis of the two oils revealed the presence of a number of chemical constituents. Again, the isolated oils exhibited considerable antibacterial activity against two Gram positive bacteria viz. Bacillus megaterium & Staphylococcus aureus and two Gram negative bacteria viz. Escherichia coli & Enterobacter aerogenes. Therefore, the present study will definitely inspire the researchers engaged in this direction to undertake further research work on this plant for searching new lead molecules
