Abstract There are abundant therapeutic plants out there in the vegetation providing numerous health benefits and waiting to be discovered more about them. There are diversions of plants that provide medicinal aid to various ailments and are differentiated based on the various plant families they belong to. In this study, we focus on the two species that belong to the same family. i.e., Fabaceae which are, Clitoria ternatea and Pterocarpus santalinus. Fabaceae plant family is believed to consist of humungous health benefits including antimicrobial activities, helping in wound healing, being anti-cancer. The presence of a wide variety of secondary bioactive metabolites, including Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Coumarins, Terpenoids, Sterols, and Phenolic acids which have been frequently reported to be present in various plant species of this Fabaceae family, may explain the variety of medicinal effects of these plants: Since ancient times, the Fabaceae plant family has been employed as a source of medicinal plants due to its extensive distribution. This extensive study has been done to observe the presence of phytochemicals of medicinal plants such as Clitoria ternatea and Pterocarpus santalinus using different solvents followed by anti-microbial activity against E. coli, and the presence of various important phytochemicals was marked, interestingly Pterocarpus santalinus showed a clear presence of Cardiac Glycoside when dissolved in methanol solvent, it was also observed that these plant samples have an immense capability to inhibit the microbial contamination and growth, especially when dipped and kept in an acidified water solvent. This is the first research that investigates the phytochemical properties and antibacterial activity of Clitoria ternatea and Pterocarpus santalinus. For performing the antibacterial property against E. coli, the agar well diffusion method was employed. When done against E. coli, methanol extract of Red Sandalwood produced the zone of inhibition with the largest diameter i.e., 25.5 mm, followed by acidified water extract of Aparajita of 23.0 mm and hydro alcohol extract of Aparajita about 11.5 mm. There is no zone of inhibition for methanol extract of Aparajita and hydro alcohol, acidified water extract of Red Sandalwood.
