Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Capparis divaricata Lam commonly known as caper brush, belonging to genus Capparis of family Capparidaceae, found throughout the India. The present study was carried out to study anticancer activity of Capparis divaricata Lam leaves. The study includes preparation of different extracts by successive solvent extraction like Pet. ether, Chloroform, acetone, ethanol, ethyl acetate. Preliminary qualitative chemical test for different extracts showed presence of alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, fixed oil and fats, phenolic compounds, protein, tannins, gum and mucilage and carbohydrates. The Chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts showed cytotoxic activity due to presence of flavonoid as compared to ethanol extract.
