Objective of this study to evaluate the antioxidant and antifungal activity of local species of Ziziphus Xylopyrus. DPPH radical scavenging assay was employed for determination of antioxidant activity at 517nm in spectrophotometer. Antifungal activity was determined by Poisoned food technique. Methanolic extract of Ziziphus Xylopyrus showed comparable antioxidant effect when assessed with DPPH assay in comparison with ascorbic acid. Also, it showed comparable antifungal effect when compared with standard clotrimazole, itraconazole and amphotericin B. In Phytochemical investigation of fruits of Ziziphus Xylopyrus shows presence of alkaloids, flavanoids, sterods, terpenoids, glycosides which may be responsible for potential antioxidant and antifungal of this plant
