16.1 Introduction
The genus Zanthoxylum is a traditional medicinal plant belonging to the family Rutaceae, consisting of about 250 species (Arun and Paridhavi, 2012). Eleven spe­cies of Zanthoxylum have been reported from India: Zanthoxylum budrunga, Zan-
thoxylum oxyphyllum, Zanthoxylum ovalifolium, Zanthoxylum acanthopodium, Zanthoxylum planispinum, Zanthoxylum armatum, Zanthoxylum nitidium, Zanthox­ylum rhetsa, Zanthoxylum simulans, Zanthoxylum avicennae, and Zanthoxylum limonella (Hooker, 1999; DPR, 2011a, 2016; Rajbhandari et al., 2015). Some of
et al., 1996). Among these species, the most common one is Z. armatum DC., which
is considered to be one of 30 medicinal plants in the country that is emphasized for cultivation and agrotechnological development (DPR, 2006). It is commonly known as Indian prickly ash, Nepal pepper, and toothache tree. In different regions and lan­guages, it is known by various names. Table 16.1 shows the vernacular names, which are listed subsequently.

16.2 Distribution
Z. armatum is native to the warm temperate and subtropical region of the world (Pirani, 1993). China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia can also grow Z. armatum. Different states in India such as Andhra Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Orissa, and Uttar Pradesh have different varieties of timur plant (Batool et al., 2010).
16.3 Morphocytological studies
Dhingra et al. (2012) studied different morphological parameters (e.g.,. root or shoot
length and diameter, total height of plants; primary, secondary, and tertiary branches;
16.3 Morphocytological studies 329
https://t.me/med1917
types of chromosomal anomalies; chromosomal stickiness and clumping; dissolu­tion, condensation, fragmentation, and micronuclei formation; total number of chro­mosomes in control and treated plants of Z. armatum). When mature seeds of Z. armatum were treated with different concentrations of colchicine solutions, a
1.0-M concentration resulted in highly retarded growth whereas low conce ntrations showed accelerated growth of roots. For plant height, a 50% reduction was reported at 1.0 M, and the frequency of retarded height of plants was reported to be higher at
1.0 M and less at 0.50 M concentration of colchicine. Colchiploids showed delayed flower and leaf emergence. The somatic chromosome number in all plants were found to be 2n ¼ 66 in diploid plants; colchicine-treated plant had a chromosome number of 2n ¼ 132.
16.3.1 Macroscopic view
Macroscopic studies were carried out by determining the shape, size, color, taste, odor, fracture, and dimensions of the drug. These macroscopic characters are pre­sented in Fig. 16.1 and Table 16.2.
Other macroscopic features of leaf, bark, and fruits were determined. Z. armatum is a small aromatic xerophytic tree or large shrub up to 6 m high with three to five pairs of leaflets:
1. Branches are glabrous or rust-colored pubescent, usually armed with straight or
slightly compressed reddish brown stipular spines.
2. Peta ls are absent.
3. Minute and polygamous flowers bear axillary on shoot cymes.
4. Flowers have six to eight sepals. Male flowers have six to eight stamens. Fila-
ments are 2 mm, arranged around a pistillode globose. Female flowers have one
to three carpellate ovaries attached to the inner angle of the axis. Fruits are a
reddish brown subglobose that split into two parts after ripening. These single
rounded, shining black seeds are about 2e3 mm in size (Grierson and Long,
1991; Nair and Nayar, 1997).
5. Spirally arranged leaves originating from the branch were observed. While
studying the petiole, narrow extensions of the leaf blade were noticed to
continue along each side of petiole from blade base to stem.
6. Incisions of lamina with slight dentate margin in leaves were reported. Venation
was unicostate reticulate type.
16.3.2 Microscopic studies
The transverse section of a leaf of Z. armatum has a dorsiventral character (Ullah
et al., 2014)(Figs. 16.2e16.4). Important microscopic characteristics are shown
in Table 16.3.

16.4 Biochemical analysis
All of the essential oils have considerable molecular diversity of major and minor constituents in their qualitative and quantitative composition, with specific constit­uents. Most of the essential oil of leaves of Z. armatum was studied by the combi­nation of gas chromatography (GC) and GCemass spectrometry (MS) . Vast chemical diversity was observed in terms of the qualitative and quantitative makeup of the constituents on different accessions.

16.4.1 Qualitative studies
In these studies, the presence of various constituents was reported from different parts of Z. armatum. A qualitative analysis of different parts of Z. armatum revealed the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, phytosterol, terpenoids, phenols, flavo­noids, glycosides, sterols, saponins, tannins, fixed oils, fats, and volatile oil in Z. armatum leaves, bark, and fruit (Ullah et al., 2013a,b; Upreti et al., 2013;
Alam and Saqib 2015; Dabral et al., 2019; Khan et al., 2020). Anthraquinone was
found in the leaves and fruits of Z. armatum (Alam and Us Saqib, 2015).
