Intuition of the Pharmacognostical and Phytochemical Estimation of Zizyphus jujuba Bark
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Zizyphus jujuba has been used principally by the people from ancient period of time as folk medicines, supplement for food and dietary use. It belongs to family Rhamnaceae. It is the spiny tree and also a evergreen shrub. Fruit, bark, leaves and root of the plant possess various medicinal properties. It enchants number of pharmacological activities such as expectorant, antiulcer, anti-tussive, wound healing, anti-diarrheal, antibacterial, skin rejuvenating, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory, nephroprotective, anticancer, hypoglycaemic, etc. These pharmacological activities are responsible due to presence of various phytoconstituents in the plant parts. The bark of the ZJ contains various phytochemicals such as terpenes, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolic acids, saponins, etc. The further study has been performed for pharmacognostical and phytochemical study including qualitative as well as quantitative estimation of extract using number of evaluation tests and methods.
