Abstract
Ficus palmate Forssk. (Moraceae) called as “Anjiri” is bushy tree found in many parts of India, Nepal, and westwards. The tree and its parts (leaves, fruits etc.) are used traditionally to treat many diseases. The plant possesses antibacterial, antimicrobial, hypoglycaemic, nephroprotective, anticalcinogenic, antiulcer, antiproliferative, antioxidant, antihyperlipidimic activities. The plant has shown the presence of chemical constituents such as psoralene, bergapten, vanillic acid, psoralenoside, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, α-amyrin, β-amyrin, lupeol acetate, diethyl acetate etc. It also has been used for various remedies such as laxatives, to treat warts, demulcent, emolient. The fruit and leaves are as used as food for its nutritive values. These spectrums of pharmacological activities and a bunch of phytochemicals indicate a scope for further work to be carried out on Ficus palmate Forssk.
