utilized plants for centuries to treat various diseases
and disorders. The aim of this study was to review the phytochemical profile and
pharmacological activities of medicinal plant Ficus infectoria (Roxb.).
The various bio-active phytochemical constituents, such as flavonoids, phenolic
compounds, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, glycosides, carbohydrates, alkaloids,
proteins and amino acids have been identified in this plant. The various

extract, as compared to acetonic and aqueous leaves extracts. Both aqueous and
alcoholic fruits extracts have been exhibited minimum anti-oxidant activity
