Abstract
Ficus palmata, commonly known as the Himalayan
fig or Himalayan rubber tree, is a plant species native to the Himalayan region
with a long history of traditional medicinal use. In recent years, scientific
interest in Ficus palmata has intensified due to its rich phytochemical
composition and potential therapeutic properties. This review aims to provide a
comprehensive overview of the phytochemical constituents present in Ficus
palmata extracts and their associated biological activities. We discuss the
methods of extraction, phytochemical profiling, and analytical techniques
employed to characterize the chemical composition of Ficus palmata extracts.
Furthermore, we highlight the diverse biological activities reported for Ficus
palmata extracts, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial,
anticancer, and hepatoprotective properties. The mechanisms underlying these
biological activities are elucidated, shedding light on the potential
therapeutic applications of Ficus palmata in various disease conditions.
Overall, this review consolidates the current knowledge on Ficus palmata
extracts, emphasizing their phytochemical diversity and pharmacological
potential, while also identifying avenues for future research and development.
