ABSTRACT
 Objective: To analyze concepts, structure, classification, biosynthesis and functions of glucosinolates (GSLs) in higher plants.
 Design/methodology/approach: A search was performed into recent high-impact literature related to (GSLs).
 Results: GSLs are secondary metabolites rich N S. They divided aliphatic, aromatic, indole depending on the amino acid from which they ...

widely in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Tibet of China. Its root barks, leaves and fruits are used for the treatment of rheumatism in traditional medicine. Previous investigations have led to the isolation of different chemical components showing various bioactivities from the Capparis genus while up to now, there is no report regarding chemical constituents of this species. In the prese...

UNLABELLED The leaves of Ritchiea capparoides var. longipedicellata (Capparidaceae) is used in ethnomedicine in South-Western Nigeria to treat infectious and parasitic diseases. This study was aimed at identifying the compound(s) that are responsible for the antimicrobial and antiplasmodial activities of the leaves and also to contribute to the chemistry of the plant species. A 70 % aqueous eth...

Use of chemical pesticides is the current method for controlling sandflies. However, resistance is being developed in sandflies against the insecticide of choice that is DDT (dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane). Botanicals have potential to act as an alternative to chemical insecticides as the crude extracts and active molecules of some plants show insecticidal effect to sandflies. This will lead...

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The plant Cleome gynandra L. (Capparidaceae), is commonly known as 'Hurhur'and 'Karaila' in India and 'Cat's whiskers' in English. Traditionally the whole plant is used in the treatment of tumor, anti-inflammatory and lysosomal stability actions. AIM OF STUDY The objective of present study is to explore the anticancer activity of the methanol extract of the Cleo...
