“…The methanol extract showed the lowest MIC value (3.125 mg/mL) and the widest inhibition zone (15.67 mm) against the growth of S. aureus. B. subtilis had the highest MIC value (25 mg/mL) and the lowest sensitivity (6.33 mm) to the chloroform extract [5]. At 50 and 100 mg/mL, the MIC and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) for Candida albicans were both achieved with the studied extracts.…”

“…The smallest reported sensitivity to chloroform extract was 6.33 mm, while the largest MIC was 25 mg/mL, both for B. subtilis [52]. Except for chloroform and aqueous extracts of B. subtilis, E. coli, and P. aeroginosa, all extracts demonstrated inhibitory effects on the fungi, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria [5]. Results showed that the methanol extract was effective against the bacteria and the fungi used in the tests.…”

“…Many studies have been published on the plant's biological properties. The current literature [4,5] on its potential for managing and treating diseases, especially cancer, needs to be reviewed, analysed, and brought up to date. This study combines the scattered data on the biological impacts of Ficus (F.) deltoidea and synthesizes the data into a cohesive whole, paving the way for a more thorough understanding of the plant and for a clearer guidance on how to make the best use of its components.…”

Aim: This study shows how important it is to coordinate research on Ficus deltoidea Jack (FD) so that results from different sources can be compared directly and a scientific conclusion can be made. Methods: The author looked for research papers on Ficus (F.) deltoidea on Google Scholar, Science Direct, Google.com, Wiley, PubMed, Hindawi, Springer, and other related databases. This analysis excludes data that cannot be trusted, thesis papers, and review articles about F. deltoidea. Results: In traditional medicine, the plant’s leaves and syconia are used to cure a wide variety of ailments, including itchiness, diarrhoea, cancer, sexual dysfunction, age-related issues, malaria, cancer, anxiety, pain, constipation, fever, diabetes, tooth pain, and tooth decay. In vitro and in vivo studies showed the effectiveness of the leaves against cancer cell lines. Conclusions: Based on the existing research on the health benefits of FD, it is critical to focus on its more active constituents and their identification, determination, further development, and, most importantly, standardization of the leaves for the management and treatment of cancer and its related cases. More research is needed before it can be considered a promising herbal source of novel medication candidates for treating various disorders.

With a 30-fold increase in incidence over the previous 50 years, dengue fever is now the most widespread viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes in the world. The intricate interaction of the human defense system, hereditary predisposition, and specific bitterness elements is more likely to be the pathogenesis of dengue. There are presently no viable treatments for dengue. Synthetic drugs which are used against this ailment also show major side effects. There must be a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanism generating severe symptoms to develop auguring markers, cutting-edge diagnostics, and treatments and finally a well-rounded and secure antiserum. Hence, the aim is to search for safer and more potent drugs derived from plants. Plants or herbs are mainly targeting replication or its enzyme or specific stereotypes, though an exact mechanism of phytoconstituents interfering with the viral replication is still undiscovered. The present attempt provided the update with the objective to bringing up forward pathophysiological eventualities involved in dengue virus along with the naturally derived treatment relevant to provide the impregnable therapy by evading the noxious symptoms for dengue fever. Governor’s plum, Cryptocarya chartacea, magnolia berry, and Chinese ginger are such plants exhibiting many effective phytoconstituents against DENV and can be further explored for novel drug discovery by medicinal scientists.

The present work aimed to review ten species of Ficus which is belong to the Moraceae family. In total, 36 articles were reviewed by using the online search engine PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Ten species of Ficus were searched for phytochemicals documentation, which resulted in 250 secondary metabolites and 400 different compounds. Alkaloids compounds such as liriodenine and lysicamine, terpenes, steroids, and flavonoids were found to have anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, and other biological activities. Most Ficus species contain secondary metabolites compounds with different types of application. This mini-review provides insights on Ficus’s phytochemical compounds and their importance as medicinal properties.
