A current alternative for sustainable development through green chemistry is the replacement of synthetic compounds with natural ones superior capitalization resources, numerous applications in different fields. The benefits walnuts (Juglans regia L.) and elderberries (Sambucus nigra have been known since ancient times, due to presence phytochemicals such as flavonoids, polyphenols, carotenoids, alkaloids, nitrogen-containing compounds, tannins, steroids, anthocyanins, etc. These active multiple biological activities human health, including that are antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, antihypertensive, neuroprotective, Like other medicinal plants, walnut elderberry possess important phytosanitary properties (antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal) their extracts can also be used environmentally safe biopesticides, result they constitute a viable cheap harmful products. During recent years, by-products attracted attention researchers, investigations focused on species’ valuable constituents properties. Comparing information from literature regarding phytochemical profile activities, it highlighted that, apart predominant specific common bioactive which come six classes (phenols derivatives, hydroxycinnamic acids, triterpenoids, phytosteroids), act same microorganisms. From this perspective, aim review provide an overview present constitutive parts elderberries, or activity related health protection agricultural crops context development.
