The biochemical constituents of extracts obtained from the leaves of Senna alata obtained from Akure, Nigeria is being reported. The chloroform-methanol extracts was analysed by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques. The main constituents of the extracts were 6-Octadecenoic acid (24.99 %), 2, 3-Dihydroxypropyl-9-octadecenoate (20.86 %) and Octadecanoic acid (18.08 %).
