The genus Cassia has 38 species with five sub-species of Leguminosae (Caesalpiniaceae) possessed with appreciable medicinal taxon exerting a wide range of curing properties throughout the world. The present investigation focused on the phytochemical and pharmacological studies of Senna montana (Roth) V. Singh (Cassia montana Heyne ex Roth.) due to their remarkable medicinal properties. The leaf, stem and root bark extracts of C. montana reported here which have been known pharmacologically active components including Propanamide, 2-hydroxy, Benzene-methanamine, ? 4-dimethyl-, ? -methyl mannofuranoside, 2-Aminononadecan, ?-Bisabolol , 2,3-Epoxyhexanol, D-glucopyranoside, methyl 3-O-methyl O, 5-O-methyl-D-gluconic acid, 1, 3-bis-t-butylperoxy-phthalan. The Bio-active compounds detected through GC-MS analysis of C. montana extracts are reported to possess biological activities like antitumor, anti-inflammatory anti- microbial, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-nociceptive, anti-arthritis, antioxidant, wound healing properties and skin problems. The extracts showed six constituents from the leaf, seven from stem bark, three from the root bark respectively. The preliminary phytochemical studies of these extracts resulted in about 12 from leaf, 12 from stem bark and 10 from root bark out of 12 groups of secondary metabolites respectively. The thorough literature survey revealed that, the present investigation was not reported and hence might be useful to the scientific community.
