Journal Title: Journal of Drug Discovery and Therapeutics - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Ficus racemosa Linn belongs to the family Moraceae is popular in indigenous system of medicine like ayurveda, siddha, unani and homoeopathy. It has been known to posses diverse pharmacological activities. In the traditional system of medicine various plant parts such as bark, root, leaves, fruits and latex are used in diarrhea, dysentery, piles, wound healing, skin disorders, diabetes, ulcers, menorrhagia, visceral obstructions, bilious affections, as a hypoglycemic, antiperiodic, anti-hemorrhagic, carminative, astringent, antioxidant and also as anticancer agents. The research describes a new method for the extraction and isolation of α-Amyrin Acetate from the fruits of Ficus racemosa. This would be of immense value in the study and preparation of α-Amyrin Acetate derivatives and analogs.
