“…In a previous study, it was found that rats with acute hypertension had decreased memory function and learning ability after being induced with DeoxyCorticosterone Acetate (DOCA) for 1 week. Another study also showed memory deficits in hypertensive wistar rats in the second week [2], [3]. The cause of decreased memory function due to ICMEDH acute hypertension is related to the possibility of a metabolic imbalance, atherogenesis, demyelination or white matter microinfarcts in hypertensive patients [4].…”

“…One of the natural ingredients believed to have active ingredients in reducing hypertension is the jujube plant. Ziziphus mauritiana or jujube is an edible fruit and is believed to be one of the medicinal plants in various Asian countries such as Pakistan, India and Africa [3]. In Indonesia, this plant can be found in the area of Sumbawa, Bali, East Java and has been cultivated in Central Java [8].…”

Memory impairment is one of the effects caused by hypertension. Jujube leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam) have active ingredients which are believed to control hypertension and, therefore, prevent memory deficit, especially spatial memory in white rats. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of jujube leaves extract (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam) on the memory score of white rats with hypertension induced by NaCl and Prednisone. The study was a true experimental with a post-test-only control group design. Rats were divided into five groups consisting of two control groups and three groups with jujube leaves extract: 200mg/KgBW/day, 400mg/KgBW/Day, and 800mg/KgBW/Day. Memory functions were measured by Radial Arm Maze to measure spatial memory function. Data were analyzed with One-Way ANOVA and then Post-hoc Bonferroni. All groups were found to be significant (p = 0.00) in One-Way ANOVA test. In a Post hoc test, only group 3 with a dose of 800mg/KgBW/day was found to be significant (p = 0.00) to prevent memory score deficit in white hypertensive Wistar rats induced by NaCl and Prednisone. Jujube leaves extract (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam) can prevent memory score deficit in white Wistar rats with hypertension. Keywords: hypertension, memory function, jujube leaves

Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.), which grows in tropical and sub-tropical regions of world and has been commercially cultivated in China for 4000 years. Jujube is a juicy and crispy fruit, resembling a large olive and tasting like an apple. Moreover, jujube has been used for treatment of several diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. Jujube has antioxidant, anticancer, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial activities due to bioactive components such as phenolic compounds, saponins, polysaccharides and ascorbic acid. It is also a valuable fruit in terms of its nutrient content including carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals. In recent years, the tendency towards natural therapies has increased, due to increase in incidence of certain diseases and adverse effects of drugs used in the treatment of such diseases. Jujube could be considered as a natural therapeutic material because of bioactive and nutritional properties. The aim of present review is to introduce jujube fruit in terms of chemical composition, effects on health and bioactive properties.

“…The Gulf countries had a lot of Z. jujuba which gives shade to different types of livestock during the summer. It bears fruits of various shapes and sizes that are of great medicinal and nutritional values (Golmohammadi 2013). The leaves also have medicinal properties and are usually applied in traditional medicine to treat different ailments (Khare 1995).…”

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) used in this study were prepared from Ziziphus jujuba Mill. aqueous pericarp extract. Potent antibacterial activity was recorded from AgNPs–Z. jujuba pericarp against P. Pseudomonas aeruginosa > K. Klebsiella pneumoniae > M. Micrococcus luteus > S. Staphylococcus aureus > P. Proteus mirabilis > S. Shigella flexneri. Less antifungal activity was found against phytopathogenic fungi with inhibition efficacy of P. Penicillium expansum > M. Macrophomina phaseolina > A. Alternaria alternata > D. Drechslera halodes, F. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. UV-Vis spectral analysis of formed AgNPs– Z. jujuba was recorded at 450 nm and three characteristic diffraction peaks observed at 2Φ =38.235, 43.95 and 64.42. FTIR patterns were located in the region of 4000–400 cm−1 and AgNPs particle size were noticed in between 20 and 71 nm with spherical shape embedded in bio-materials. These findings indicate that AgNPs–Z. jujuba pericarp aqueous extract could be utilized to control various bacterial infections to human and as well as against phytopathogenic fungi. Bangladesh J.
