Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Ficus religiosa Linn. (Moraceae) has been traditionally claimed to be useful in asthmatic conditions, antidiarrhoeal, antiviral and astringent. It also shows antivenom activity. It is used in the treatment of various diseases such as cancer, inflammation or infectious diseases. In the present study, it includes standardization parameters which are carried out on leaves where successive soxhlet extraction of dried powdered leaves was carried out using petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol and water. All these extracts were subjected for in-vitro antimicrobial activity against the strains Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus by cup plate method.
