Abstract
Paliurus spina-christii Mill (Christis thorn, Ramnaceae) is a traditional Mediterranean and Asiatic medicinal plant. Quality assessment of Paliurus spina-Christi was done by using a high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography. The high performance liquid chromatigraphy analysis of methanolic extract of the stem of this plant showed presence of gallic acid, cafetric acid, syringic acid and epichotichen, while gas chromatography showed a wide range of sugar compounds, phenols ,alkaloids and esters. Antifungal activity of methanol extract was also examined and revealed a clear inhibition zone at 75 µg, 100 µg, 125 µg, against Trichophyton mentagrophytes
