Medicinal plants comprise bioactive compounds called phytochemicals which are used for curing of various human diseases. Phytochemicals are non-nutritive, chemical compounds that occur naturally on plants and have diverse protective properties. These compounds are produced by plants for their protection. Recent research demonstrates the protective role of such compounds against human diseases in several medicinal plants. In this present study the compositional analysis of the medicinal plant Lawsonia inermis was documented. Solvent extraction of leaf samples with Chloroform, Acetone, Ethanol, Methanol, and water extracts of leaf samples revealed the phytochemical constituents in the plants. In this study, antimicrobial activity was performed by disc diffusion and well diffusion method. The maximum activity was showed in methanol extraction against pathogens. The main objective of the research work was to check the presence or absence of the phytochemical constituents in the selected medicinal plant.
