Herbal plants are known to be the excellent stimulators of immune system due to antioxidant properties of phytochemical constituent. In the recent consequence, phytochemistry and pharmacognosy are predominately focused areas of research about medicinal plants. The present study is the comparative analysis of phytochemical constituents and natural antibacterial potential of leaf, seed and root extract of Cajanus cajan with different solvent such as methanol, ethanol, acetone& aqueous. The phytochemical constituents are analyzed throughthe standard qualitative analysis and antibacterial potential valued against assured pathogenic species of gram positive and gram negative bacteria (E.coli, Pseudomonas sp, Klebsiella sp& Streptococcus sp, Bacillus sp) through agar well diffusion technique. From the result of the phytochemical analysis it is indicated the lack of anthraquinone in leaf and lack of reducing sugar, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, anthraquinone in seed. All bioactive constituents are present in the root. Maximum activity was exhibited by ethanol extracts against E.coli and Pseudomonas sp and methanol extract against Streptococcus sp and Klebsiella sp was detected in all the herbal parts of Cajanus cajan tested.MIC value of leaf, seed& root was ranging between 0.380 and 0.409mgml for the pathogenic bacteria. It has been known that an MIC 0.380mgml was noted for ethanol leaf extracts and0.365mgml for methanol leaf extract against pathogenic bacteria respectively. The outcomes of this study support the trifoliate plant species Cajanus cajan had high amount of phytochemicals and antibacterial activity. So that extracts of Cajanus cajan used for the pharmacognosy for treat infections initiated by the respective pathogens.
