“…Previous studies on the leaves, fruits, and barks of Z. spina-christi have reported that these plant parts exhibit hypoglycemic, antihyperglycemic ( Abdel-Zaheret al, 2005 , Glombitzaet al, 1994 , Nesseemet al, 2009 ), antidiabetic ( Takım, 2021 ), antidiarrheal ( Adlyet al, 2022 , Adzuet al, 2003 , Neamahet al, 2022 ), antibacterial ( El Kutry and Sopeah, 2020 ), antinociceptive ( Adzuet al, 2001 , Dhanalekshmiet al, 2022 ), analgesic, antihyperlipidemic, and antioxidant effects ( Adzu and Haruna, 2010 , Alsayari and Wahab, 2021 , Dkhilet al, 2018 , Husseinet al, 2006 ). In addition, the ethanolic extract of the leaves of this species has been reported to inhibit the growth of Bacillus subtilis and exert moderate antipyretic and considerable anti-inflammatory activities ( Tanira et al, 1988 ).…”
