A Brief Review Article On Capparis Decidua And Its Medical Advantages

Abstract

Capparis decidua, a member of the family Capparaceae, is widely distributed in the deserts of Asia, Africa, and Saudi Arabia. Along with its nutritious qualities, the plant has found widespread use in folk medicine. C. decidua had pharmacological properties such as antidiabetic, anthelmintic, antibacterial, antifungal, analgesic, anti-nociceptive, rheumatic, hypolipidemic, antiatherosclerosis, tumour, ant giardia, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and anticonvulsant. The caper plant contains a broad variety of phytochemicals, including alkaloids (capparisinine, caparisoned, stachydrine, and isocodonocarpine), phenolics, flavonoids, sterols, and fatty acids, all of which contribute to its remarkable bioactivities. In this article, we'll examine the pharmacological properties, traditional medicinal uses, and phytochemistry of this versatile plant. The use of plants as a foundation for functional foods and medications was also discussed.
