Abstract
Medicinal implications of plants are well known to us since the time immemorial and are well documented in the ancient literature. According to WHO report, 80% of world populations count on herbal medicines to treat themselves in case of illness. And the main reason behind this could be the side effects caused by the drugs which are recommended now a days by the general practitioners. Herbal medicines are known to produce negligible amount of side effects and that is why they are among the favorite candidates for health care. In the present study, we have attempted to rediscover the medical potential of the Simarouba glauca. We have performed phytochemical analysis of Simarouba glauca and compared its bioactivities (antibacterial, antifungal, anti-diabetic, hemolytic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial)with synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles.
Keywords: Simarouba glauca, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-diabetic, antioxidant.
