A phytochemical investigation was conducted on the bark of Prosopis cineraria (L.) Druce (subfamily Mimosaceae, family Leguminosae/Fabaceae). Two Phytoconstituents from bark namely paeonol and ferulic acid were isolated from the ethanol extract of air dried bark of Prosopis cineraria by column chromatography, analysed and identified by its mass fragmentation pattern and spectrophotometric data. Their structures were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic (IR, MS, NMR) data analysis and by comparison of the data obtained with those of the literature.
