Abstract: Capparis divaricata is used as antiseptic, in asthma, stomach problems and post-delivery complaints in tribal medicine. C. divaricata stem bark extract was screened for phytochemicals, antimicrobial activity and antioxidant activity. Total phenols and total antioxidants were estimated using Folin-ceocaltue reagent and ammonium molybdate reduction assay respectively. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of Pterin-6-carboxylic acid, 1,3-bis-t-butylperoxy phthalan, Phloroglucinol, 2,6-lutidine 3,5-dichloro-4-dodecylthio-Propanedioicacid, propyl, (2s,3s)- (-)-3-propnolyloxiranemethanol, Propanamide, 2-hydroxy, 1-adamantanemethylamine, ??-methyl, Ethylamine,2-(adamantan-1-yl)-methyl-, Ala-?-ala, trimethylsilyl ester, Urea, heptyl-. Free radical scavenging activity was correlated with total phenolic content and total antioxidants. Aqueous and alcoholic leaf extracts were effective on Schizella decenteriae.
