Abstract

Ficus glomerata Roxb. is an evergreen tree belongs to family Moraceae. Stem bark of it is astringent, anti-diabetic, refrigerant, and useful for washing wounds (Anju et al; 2018). The GC-MS analysis of benzene extract of stem bark of Ficus glomerata Roxb. shows presence of seventeen phytochemical compounds. The major phytochemical compounds are Phenol,2,4-bis (1,1-dimethylethyl) (11.35), Lup-20(29)-en-3-ol,acetate,(3a) (3.77), Aspidospermidin-17-ol, 1-acetyl-19,21-epoxy-15,16-dimethoxy-(3.08), 1-Acetoxy-p-menth-3-one (2.94), 7-Methyl-Z-tetradecan-1ol-acetane(2.02), Glycine, N-(3a,5a,7a,12a,)-24-oxo-3,7,12-tris (trimethylsily) oxy (cholan-24-yl), methyl ester (1.59). The results of present investigation revealed that potential phytochemical compounds present in extract of stem bark of Ficus glomerata Roxb. might be used to treat various skin related diseases.
