Abstract :
Traditional medicine, which is based on
theories, beliefs and personal experiences, is a pool of
knowledge skills and practices that are being used by
various cultures for maintaining health and preventing,
diagnosing, improving, and treating both physical and
psychological illnesses. 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
Keywords :
Ziziphus xylopyrus, DPPH, Antioxidant, Antifungal.
