Online published on 24 December, 2019. Abstract Medicinal research is currently maximum ongoing research studies because the benefits derived from medicinal plants are much more secure and cheaper than any side effects. This plant Caesalpinia bonducellais considered as the most beneficial site for antibiotics and its cure for many diseases. This is considered a very useful medicine because bioactive elements present in its parts. The present study stated that the Proximate analysis revealed the presence of percentage of Moisture 9.20%, Crude protein 10.05%, Crude fiber 9.85% Ether extract 2.86%, Total Ash 7.33%, Carbohydrate18.41%, Gross energy 3600Kcal/Kg in the seed of caesalpinia bonducella. Phytochemical compound screened by GC-MS method. In this GC-MS analysis, 38 bioactive phytochemical compounds were identified. The compounds predominantly phenolic compounds and flavonoids derivatives are present included Carbohydrate, glycoside, saponins and phytosterols compounds. These different active phytochemicals have been found to possess a wide range of activities which may help in the protection against incurable diseases. The present research provides scientific evidence for folk-lore demands for medicinal value of Caesalpinia bonducella seeds.
