Caper plant belonging to the genus Capparis (family Capparaceae) is a plant used in traditional medicine to cure
various illnesses since ancient times. Studies have shown significant medicinal
properties of various Capparis
species. This study was designed to examine in
vitro antifungal and antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts of Capparis ovata buds. It was determined
that Capparis ovata inhibited the NO
radical in a dose-dependent manner and exhibited reducing power activity.
According to the standard pyrocatechol graph, 1 mg of Capparis ovata contains 19.64 µg of phenolic equivalent of
pyrocatechol. In vitro antifungal
susceptibilty testing of Capparis
ovata methanolic extract against eight different fungal strains were determined by broth macrodilution
method. According to MIC values of in vitro antifungal activity testing Capparis ovata has moderate antifungal
activity.  In conclusion, Capparis ovata was found to have a significant antifungal and
antioxidant potential. Hence, this plant could have the potential to be used
against fungal and oxidative stress 
related many disease conditions.
