Authors: Unnikrishnan, Neena; Somanath, Manu; C.I., Jolly; D., Sheela Abstract: The leaves, fruits and bark of Ficus racemosa Linn, are used in the Ayurveda for the treatment of dysentery, skin diseases, diabetes, asthma and inflammatory swellings. Phytochemical screening of the bark showed positive tests for sterols, saponins and tannins. Agar well diffusion method proved that methanolic extracts of the oil prepared from the bark possess good antibacterial activity against the tested Gram positive strains and has shown intermediate action against tested Gram negative strains.

Authors: Unnikrishnan, Neena; Mathappan, Rinku; Somanath, Manu; D., Sheela Abstract: The bark and aerial roots and leaf buds of Ficus bengalensis Linn are used in the ayurveda for the treatment of dysentery , skin diseases, diabetes, piles,ulcers, and inflammatory swellings. Phytochemical screening of the bark showed positive tests for sterols, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins and tannins. Agar well diffusion method proved that methanolic extracts of the oil prepared from the bark posses good antibacterial activity against the tested Gram negative strain Salmonella typhymurium and has shown intermediate action against tested few Gram positive and Gram negative strains.

Antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl- hydrazyl) assay method.There was direct correlation between polyphenol content and antioxidant activity (correlation coefficient = 0.6557). IC50, value and total flavonoid content were strongly correlated (correlation coefficient R2 = 0.8337).These plants represent promising sources of natural antioxidants and these findings give scientific bases to their ethno pharmacological uses.
