A phytochemical and biological study Oleander - Nerium oleander (Apocynaceae) in the region of Larbaa was carried out on a batch harvested in May. The histological analysis of leaf showed the presence of crypts with stomata and trichomes, starch granules, microrosette crystals of calcium oxalate, very thick cuticle and characteristics of plants adapted to drought. The antioxidant power of flavonoid fraction was evaluated by the method diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH), the ability of extracts to scavenge this radical is measured by spectrophotometry. The results show a percentage of antioxidant activity: - 45% for leaf extracts of the plant -73% for flower extracts. The antibacterial effect was produced by the method of Mueller Hinton agar diffusion (IPA). The antimicrobial potency is estimated by measuring the diameter of inhibition zones of the tested strains. We showed that Nerium oleander possesses an effective antioxidant activity particularly high for flowers extracts. Flowers methanol extracts showed interesting potent antimicrobial activity against S. aureus MRSA 43300 (Resistant strain on standard antibiotics), E. coli, P. aeroginosa. These findings are useful for further research. Phytochemicals are synthetic concoctions of plant origin. Phytochemicals (from Greek phyto, signifying "plant") are synthetic compounds delivered by plants through essential or optional metabolism. They for the most part have natural action in the plant host and assume a job in plant development or resistance against contenders, pathogens, or predators. Phytochemicals by and large are viewed as research mixes instead of fundamental supplements since evidence of their conceivable wellbeing impacts has not been set up yet. Phytochemicals under research can be ordered into significant classifications, for example, carotenoids and polyphenols, which incorporate phenolic acids, flavonoids, and stilbenes/lignans. Flavonoids can be additionally partitioned into bunches dependent on their comparative substance structure, for example, anthocyanins, flavones, flavanones, and isoflavones, and flavanols. Flavanols further are delegated catechins, epicatechins, and proanthocyanidins. Phytochemists study phytochemicals by first extricating and detaching mixes from the root plant, trailed by characterizing their structure or testing in research center model frameworks, for example, cell societies, in vitro tries, or in vivo examinations utilizing lab animals. Challenges in that field incorporate segregating explicit mixes and deciding their structures, which are frequently unpredictable, and distinguishing what explicit phytochemical is fundamentally liable for some random organic movement. The phytochemical class incorporates mixes perceived as basic supplements, which are normally contained in plants and are required for typical physiological capacities, so should be gotten from the eating regimen in humans. A few phytochemicals are known phytotoxins that are poisonous to humans; for instance aristolochic corrosive is cancer-causing at low doses. Some phytochemicals are antinutrients that meddle with the retention of nutrients. Others, for example, some polyphenols and flavonoids, might be ace oxidants in high ingested amounts. Non-absorbable dietary filaments from plant nourishments, frequently considered as a phytochemical, are presently for the most part viewed as a supplement bunch having affirmed wellbeing claims for diminishing the danger of certain kinds of cancer and coronary heart disease.Eating an eating routine high in organic products, vegetables, grains, vegetables and plant-based refreshments has long haul wellbeing benefits, yet there is no proof that taking dietary enhancements of  non-supplement phytochemicals extricated from plants correspondingly benefits health. Phytochemical supplements are neither suggested by wellbeing experts for improving health nor affirmed by administrative organizations for wellbeing claims on item marks. Without explicit information on their cell activities or components, phytochemicals have been utilized as toxic substance and in customary medication. For instance, salicin, having mitigating and torment soothing properties, was initially separated from the bark of the white willow tree and later artificially created to turn into the normal, over-the-counter medication, aspirin. The tropane alkaloids of A. belladonna were utilized as toxic substances, and early people made toxic bolts from the plant. n Ancient Rome, it was utilized as a toxic substance by Agrippina the Younger, spouse of Emperor Claudius on exhortation of Locusta, a woman represented considerable authority in toxic substances, and Livia, who is reputed to have utilized it to slaughter her significant other Emperor Augustus. The English yew tree was for quite some time known to be very and promptly poisonous to creatures that brushed on its leaves or kids who ate its berries; in any case, in 1971, paclitaxel was confined from it, in this manner turning into a significant malignancy drug. Starting at 2017, the organic exercises for most phytochemicals are obscure or inadequately comprehended, in disengagement or as a feature of foods. Phytochemicals with set up jobs in the body are named fundamental supplements. An antimicrobial is an agent that kills microorganisms or stops their growth. Antimicrobial medicines can be grouped according to the microorganisms they act primarily against. For example, antibiotics are used against bacteria, and antifungals are used against fungi. They can also be classified according to their function. Agents that kill microbes are microbicidal, while those that merely inhibit their growth are called biostatic. The use of antimicrobial medicines to treat infection is known as antimicrobial chemotherapy, while the use of antimicrobial medicines to prevent infection is known as antimicrobial prophylaxis. The main classes of antimicrobial agents are disinfectants (non-selective agents, such as bleach), which kill a wide range of microbes on non-living surfaces to prevent the spread of illness, antiseptics (which are applied to living tissue and help reduce infection during surgery), and antibiotics (which destroy microorganisms within the body). The term "antibiotic" originally described only those formulations derived from living microorganisms but is now also applied to synthetic agents, such as sulfonamides or fluoroquinolones. The term also used to be restricted to antibacterials (and is often used as a synonym for them by medical professionals and in medical literature), but its context has broadened to include all antimicrobials. Antibacterial agents can be further subdivided into bactericidal agents, which kill bacteria, and bacteriostatic agents, which slow down or stall bacterial growth. In response, further advancements in antimicrobial technologies have resulted in solutions that can go beyond simply inhibiting microbial growth. Instead, certain types of porous media have been developed to kill microbes on contact.
