Ficus racemosa Linn. (Family Moraceae) is traditionally used in the treatment of
metabolic disorders and skin problems. The present study is aim to identify the
phytochemical components in Ficus racemosa plant extract and to test the anti-diabetic
activity by in vitro study. Phytochemical analysis was performed by various qualitative
methods. In vitro anti-diabetic activity was done by measuring the α-amylase and α-
glucosidase enzyme inhibitory activity. The extraction of Ficus racemosa stem bark was
carried out using sequential extracts of solvents with varying polarity; hexane,
chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone and methanol respectively. The qualitative
phytochemical analysis shows the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides,
saponins, tannins, phenols, flavonoids, quinones, steroids, amino acids and terpenoids in
various extracts. The chloroform extract shows highest α-amylase and α-glucosidase
enzyme inhibitory activity when compared to other solvent extracts. The results obtained
in the present investigation indicated Ficus racemosa stem bark as a rich source of herbal
medicines and having anti-diabetic compounds.
