Abstract
Ethnopharmacological relevance: In the traditional system of medicine, the plant Capparis decidua is well known for curing a variety of ailments such as toothache, cough, asthma, intermittent fever, rheumatism and inflammation.
Aim of the study: The aim of the current study was to isolate and characterize the constituent responsible for the antimicrobial activity of the ethanolic extract of C decidua.
Materials and methods: The isolated compound was extracted from ethanolic extract & characterized by spectroscopic methods. The antimicrobial activity of isolated compound was carried out against gram positive strains (S aureus, M luteus, B subtilus) and gram negative ones (P aeruginosa, E coli), and Fungi like C albicans and A niger by the cup-plate assay method and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs).
Results: The active principle Oleiyl glucoside (n-octadec-9-enyl- β-D- glucopyranoside) was isolated from the ethanolic extract. The MIC values of the compound against gram positive bacteria were 62.5μg/ml, 62.5 μg/ml, 125μg/ml and against gram negative ones 31.25μg/ml, 250μg/ml. The compound was found to be active against C albicans 250 μg/ml only.
Conclusions: The isolated compound Oleiyl glucoside showed moderate activity against bacteria and fungi.

Ayurvedic medicinal therapeutic approaches for inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders
Usually, in our elderly population, neurodegenerative disorders occur due to neuron death. Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disease. Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
