Different extracts and fractions of the leaves, fruits and seeds of Zizyphus spina‐christi L. grown in Egypt were investigated in vitro for their antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial activities. The flavonoids quercetin, hyperoside, rutin and quercetin‐3‐ O ‐[β‐xylosyl‐(1–2)‐α‐rhamnoside] 4′‐O‐α‐ rhamnoside) were isolated. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
