Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is most important plant belonging to family
Lythraceae. A symbol of fecundity and divine femininity emerges, whose fruit rinds, bark
and roots are used worldwide as taenicides, owing to alkaloids, and treatment of diarrhea
and oral and genital lesions, owing to tannins and astringency. The seeds contain oil which
contains not only the steroidal estrogen, estrone, in the highest concentration found in any
botanical species, but also a full range of non-steroidal phytoestrogens including the
comesten, coumestrol, and the isoflavones, genistein and daidzein. Both the juice and the
oil contain numerous and diverse bioflavonoid, which have been shown to be both potently
antioxidant and inhibitory of one or both of the enzymes cyclooxygenase (catalyzing
arachidonic acid to prostaglandins) and lipoxygenase (catalyzing arachidonic acid to
leukotrienes). Extracts of the rinds have been shown to be bactericidal, antiviral, antitumor
and use of pomegranates in the treatment of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
owing to their antioxidant properties and botanical uniqueness. This present study is
designed to evvaluate the phytochemical and pharmacological profile of different extract of
Punica granatum.
