AB  - <i>Ficus racemosa</i> is a traditional medicinal plant
found in Southeast Asia, India, Australia. It is commonly
known as &lsquo;gular&rsquo; or &lsquo;Dumur&rsquo;. Owing to the presence of
&#946;-sitosterol it decreases the blood glucose concentration.
Many active constituents isolated from different parts of
this plant exhibit useful pharmacological activity. The
objective of this dissertation is to identify the biological
activity of the roots of an indigenous medicinal plant, viz.,
<i>Ficus racemosa</i> (Family: Moraceae) and to evaluate the
possible phytochemical and pharmacological profiles of
the crude extracts. Some chemical and biological
researches on this plant have been conducted out, so far,
focusing mainly on the plant&#146;s bark and root. That&#146;s why
the objective of this framework is to assess the different
possibilities of developing new therapeutic targets from
this plant&#146;s fruit that could be crucial for the treatment of
many diseases.
