Capparis sepiaria Linn. (Family: Capparidaceae) is a rare indigenous in South India but has widespread distribution in many tropical and sub-tropical countries. The present study intended with various phytochemical screening and toxicity studies were carried out on the leaves of the Capparis sepiaria. Preliminary phytochemical evaluation of the ethanolic extract of revealed that the presence of...

Study of Population Structure Capparis Spinosa and Analysis Morphological Traits using ISSR SCoT Markers

Mabinlin II is a sweet protein with the highest known thermostablility and is isolated from the seeds of Capparis masaikai Levl. grown in south China. Two crystal forms of mabinlin II were obtained using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. One of them diffracts to 2.8 A resolution and belongs to space group P2, with unit-cell parameters a = 50.16, b = 50.17, c = 76.60 A, beta = 99.6 degre...

The purpose of this study was to examine the diuretic effect of the aqueous extract of Capparis spinosa (Cs) at a dose of 500 mg kg h in normal rats. The aqueous extract was administred intravenously and the diuresis was followed within four hours after starting the treatment. Intravenous administration of aqueous Cs extract produced a significant increase on diuresis (p<0.001) and glomerular f...

Capparis spionosa L. is a traditional medicinal plant in China and central Asia. In this study, an experiment was designed to investigate the optimization of the extraction of anti-tumor polysaccharides from the fruit of Capparis spionosa L. (CSPS) by response surface methodology (RSM). Four independent variables (extraction temperature, extraction time, ratio of water to sample and extraction ...

Since ancient times, traditional medicines have been in the usage for the treatment of Diabetes mellitus. An edible fruit from traditional medicinal plant Capparis zeylanica (CZ) was studied for its anti diabetic, insulin secretagogue activities and mechanisms involved in it. In Streptozotocin induced diabetes rats, oral administration of Capparis zeylanica methanolic extract (CZME) (200 mg/kg ...

OBJECTIVE As the aqueous extract of Capparis spinosa (CS) possess antidiabetic effect, he present study aims to reveal the possible mechanism of action of CS in diabetic mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Both single and repeated oral administrations of aqueous extract of CS were performed in multi-low dose streptozotocin-induced (MLDS) diabetic mice. Euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp was used in as...
