the ethanolic extract of ficus carica leaves was screened for hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity in hepatotoxic albino rats induced via carbon tetrachloride. the degree of protection was measured by estimating biochemical parameters such as serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (sgot), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (sgpt), total protein (tp), total albumin (ta), alkaline phos...

a major portion of the iranian fig (ficus carica) industry is located in high-salinity regions, and salinity is an important limiting factor in the production of this fruit. the present study was conducted to investigate the changes of leaf antioxidant-enzyme activity, proline and total protein content in two fig cultivars with two leaf shapes: ‘anjir sabz’ with lobate and palmate leaves, and ‘...

background: plants and fruits are an essential component of the universe. human beings have used those as medicine from the very beginning of time. according to holy quran, the fruits like grape, date, fig, olive and pomegranate are gifts and heavenly fruits of god. eighteen fruits and plants name have been mentioned in the holy book of moslem. a phytochemical screening of these fruits and plan...

The title compound, C18H24O2, was isolated from the leaves extract of Ficus carica L. The cyclo-hexane ring displays a chair conformation whereas the cyclo-hexa-1,4-diene ring adopts a flattened boat conformation with methyl C atoms at the prow and stern. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into supra-molecular chains propagated along the b-axis direction.

Protective action of Ficus carica leaf ethanolic extract (obtained by maceration) was evaluated in an animal model of hepatotoxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Male albino mice were divided into six groups. group I was normal control group; group II received olive oil (CCl4 solvent), groups III-VI received CCl4. After inducing hepatic damage, group III served as control for CCl4; a...

PURPOSE This study was aimed to evaluate general toxicity, anti-oxidant activity and effects of Ficus carica leaves extract on ischemia/reperfusion injuries. METHODS Antioxidant activity, total phenolic and flavonoid compounds of 70% methanolic extract of Ficus carica leaves were measured. The general toxicity test was carried out by brine shrimp lethality assay. Isolated hearts of male rats ...

It has been reported that latex and extracts of different species of Ficus are cytotoxic to some human cancerous cell lines. In this study, cytotoxicity of fruit and leaf extracts as well as the latex of Ficus carica L. on HeLa cell line were evaluated. Ethanolic extracts of leaves and fruits were prepared through percolation and ethyl acetate and dichloromethane extracts were prepared by reflu...
