Different parts of the plant (bark, leaf, fruit and seed) have been extensively investigated for their bioactive phytochemical constituents. Phytochemicals like malieic acid, oxalic acid, gallic acid, tannins, cynidin glycoside, oleanolic acid, flavonoids, essential oils, betulinic acid, friedelin have been elucidated for their radical scavenging (ROS), gastroprotective, and piles curing properties. Further, investigations on the use of phytochemicals from S. cumini towards their pharmacological potentials are warranted for the lead bioactive compounds.[ Subramanian, Ramya & Neethirajan, K & Ramaraj, Jayakumararaj.

It is also known as "jambul" & "kala jamun" in India. It belongs to the family Myrtaceae, the members of which have often antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic, anti-oxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, antibacterial activities. Syzygium cumini has traditionally been used for its rich nutrition and medicinal value. It has diverse pharmacological actions. Different parts of plant (like bark, leaves, seeds, fruit etc.) have been used medicinally in treatment of various diseases. Seeds of Syzygium cumini have showed as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antidiabetic activities. Leaves of Syzygium cumini have been used for their antibacterial & antidysenteric actions. Seeds of Syzygium cumini have been used as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, & anticancer. Bark of Syzygium cumini has been used as diuretic. The ripe fruits of Syzygium cumini were found to have cardiovascular effects like hypotensive, vasorelaxant & antihypertensive in rats. Syzygium cumini has been used in diabetes since ages. Apart from this, it has also shown anti-allergic, anti-fungal, antibacterial, anticancer, anticlastogenic, antidiarrhoeal, antifertility, antihyperlipidemic, antihypertensive, radioprotective, chemoprotective, and hepatoprotective effetcs.[ Agarwal, Prachi & Gaur, Praveen & Tyagi, Nidhi & Puri, Dinesh & Kumar, Nitin & Kumar, S.
