In this study, the effect of water and alcoholic (ethanol) extracts Caper Bush Capparis spinosa L., Cumine Cuminum cyminum L. , Black pepper Piper nigrum Sage Salvia sp. Cat thyme Teucrium polium plants on 4th instar larvae Culex quinquefasciatus have been evaluated .The results showed that extract P. had highest larvae, with 48h LC50 155. 9 ppm followed by ethanol C. 308.2 ,315.1and 791.4 resp...

The current study aimed to investigate the curative and preventive effect of alcoholic aqueous extract Capparis spinosa leaves on histological structure kidneys some biochemical parameters male rats injected intraperitoneally with lead acetate. Biometrics included urea, creatinine, uric acid total protein levels antioxidants (T-AOX), glutathione (GSH) malondial aldehyde (MDA) assay. 40 laborato...

Caper (Capparis spinosa L.) is a shrubby plant species recalcitrant to vegetative propagation and generally difficult propagate by seeds. This due the difficulties associated with seed germination, root induction from stem cuttings, hardening. Propagation tissue culture would be good alternative promising approach overcome limitations of conventional propagation. Tissue methods can used for clo...

In this study, an experiment was designed to optimize the synthesis of seleno-Capparis spionosa L. polysaccharide (Se-CSPS) by response surface methodology. Three independent variables (reaction time, reaction temperature and ratio of Na(2)SeO(3) to CSPS) were tested. Furthermore, the thermal stability, particle size, shape and cytotoxic activity of Se-CSPS in vitro were investigated. The opti...

This study was undertaken in order to evaluate the possible anti-hyperglycaemic and body weight reducing activities of the aqueous extract of both Capparis spinosa (CS) and Chamaemelum nobile (CN) (20 mg kg). The results demonstrate clearly that repeated oral administration of both CS and CN aqueous extract evoked a potent anti-hyperglycaemic activity in high fat diet (HFD) obese mice. Postpran...
