| 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.
