"Extracts of Capparis decidua stems and flowers showed insecticidal and oviposition inhibitory activities against Bruchus chinensis. The LC50 values of these extracts were found to increase with the increase in the polarity of the extract at different exposure periods. For instance, after 96 h, the LC50 values were found to be 3.619, 7.319, and 10.151 μg for CD1, CD2, and CD3, respectively. Extract CD7 was effective only at higher doses. The toxicity was found to be dose- and time-dependent. The females laid lesser number of eggs, when exposed to sublethal doses of different extracts and pure compounds, as compared to control. The maximum oviposition deterrence index was found for extract CD1, followed in decreasing order by CD2, CD3, and CD7. From extract CD1, two compounds were isolated and characterized as triacontanol (C1) and 2-carboxy-1, 1-dimethylpyrrolidine (C2). When the females were exposed to sublethal doses of these compounds, they laid lesser number of eggs as compared to the control. C2 was found to have a slightly greater oviposition inhibition effect than C1. From fraction CD7, one novel compound labelled as CDF1 has been isolated and identified as 6-(1-hydroxy-non-3-enyl) tetrahydropyran-2-one. CDF1 has also shown insecticidal and oviposition inhibitory activities against B. chinensis at low concentrations [Singh, Ummed & Mishra, Dhruv & Bajpai, Anuja & Meena, Harikesh & Sharma, Deepak & Mehan, Sidharth. (2011). Capparis decidua (kair): an updated review on medicinal uses.

"It was found that Della plant has good insecticidal activities. In a research, it has shown more competitive insecticidal activity than any other plant species like Artemisia princeps and Cinnamomum camphora and Melia dubia and chemical constituents occur in Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Mentha arvensis (Japanese mint), and Azadirachta indica against adults of Sitophilus oryzae. Its volatile components have shown much higher contact and fumigant activities than found in Piper nigrum, Curcuma longa, Artemisia anuua and in corn leaf essential oil against stored grain insects. However, due to the presence of volatile chemicals such as glucosinolate present in C. decidua, alkaloids, glucosinolates, sterols, flavonoids present in Capparis aegyptia as well as quercetin, coumarins, rutic acid, saponins, and pectic acid have shown very high insecticidal activity against stored grain insect larvae and adults.[ Júnior et al., 2019, A comprehensive review on phytochemistry and biological activities of Della (Capparis decidua) , IJCBS, 15(2019):69-73, " http://www.iscientific.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/11-IJCBS-19-15-11.pdf |

"The plant is reported to contain Phytochemicals including alkaloids, terpenoids, glycosides and some fatty acids. In Unani, leaves act as appetizer, helps in cardiac troubles, used in biliousness; alveolaris and pyorrhea; Root bark is used as anthelmintic and purgative. The plant have significant pharmacological activities like hypercholesterolemic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic, antidiabeti, antimicrobial, antiplaque, antihypertensive, antihelmintic & purgativ activities.
