ABSTRACT

Jamun is a very common, large evergreen beautiful tree of Indian subcontinent. The scientific name of Jamun is Syzygium cumini or Eugenia jambolana Linn belongs to the family myrtaceae. Syzygium cumini (S. cumini) (L.) Skeels (jambolan) is one of the widely used medicinal plants in the treatments of various types’ deseases.The leaves of Syzygium cumini is considered as an antibacterial and also used to strengthen the teeth and gums in folklore medicine. In present investigation, the detailed pharmacognostic study of Syzygium cumini leaf is carried out to lay down the standards which could be useful in future experimental studies. The study also includes the antibacterial activities of isolated novel compounds. The compounds were characterized by spectral techniques and structure were optimized by MM2 programme.
