Abstract

  Medicinal Plants have inexpensive amount of bioactive phytochemicals or bionutrients. Phytochemicals are present in all me- dicinal plants at different levels and are useful compounds of human diet. In recent decades research studies have shown that phy- tochemicals are playing major role in preventing chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease. They are being used to control oxidation and chronic diseases associated with stress, such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes because it possesses strong antioxidant activity. Aim of the present study was Ziziphus oenoplia Mill. phytochemical screening, alkaloid estimation and their FTIR analysis. This experiment provides evidence to support the existence of different biologically important medicinal bio- active compounds or phytochemicals that explain their use in conventional medicines. This medicine can be therapeutically used separately or combination with other extracts to cure any disorder and disease.
