Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity of Ziziphus oenoplia seed extract

The present aimed to analysis the phytochemical and pharmacological activities of Ziziphus oenoplia seed extract. Hence the ethanolic extract was prepared and analyzed Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR). The GC-MS analysis of Ziziphus oenoplia showed 24 major peaks revealing the presence of 16 major phytochemical compounds in the Ziziphus oenoplia extract. Further, the FTIR analysis also confirmed the presence of alcohols, aromatic compound, alkanes, aldehydes, ketones, alkenes, amines, amides, nitro compounds, carboxylic acids, ethers and ester. Antimicrobial activity was tested against S. typhi, S. aureus and E.coli. The extracts showed significant inhibition towards the selective microbes. The identified compounds are further in needed to study in their pharmacological activities. Hence, the further studies are warranted. It could be expected Ziziphus oenoplia Seeds extract might be great helpful for human ailments.
