Abstract
P. granatum L. var. nana is an ornamental dwarf deciduous shrub
belonging to family Punicaceae, which contains the single genus Punica
and 2 species, the common one being the edible pomegranate (P.
granatum) and the other species is P. protopunica Balf. S.
It is cultivated in Greece, Italy, and Egypt and then spreads into
Asian countries like (Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, India and China). It is
also found in North Africa and Mediterranean Europe.
The root, stem bark and to a lesser extent the fruit rind of
pomegranate had been commonly used as a vermifugal or taenicidal agent
on tapeworms. It was also found to have astringent effect and used in the
form of an aqueous decoction for dysentery, diarrhea, rectal and uterine
prolapse. By reviewing the current available literature, no botanical
studies were done on P. granatum L. var. nana. Also few reports were
traced dealing with phytochemical investigation and biological screening
of P. granatum L. var. nana cultivated in Egypt. In addition, the
medicinal values reported for edible pomegranate, which have been
reviewed in the literature encouraged us to carry out the present study,
which includes the following:
Part I: Botanical study
Part II: Phytochemical study
Part III: Biological study
