| Abstract | ||
| In traditional medicine around the world, some Ficus species have received widespread recognition as treatments for a variety of illnesses. The current review discusses the phytochemical and the biological perspective of Ficus drupacea thumb, to bring attention to this species' therapeutic importance. 66 structures were reported as chemical constituents of Ficus drupacea, 47 of them were tentatively recognized compounds, and 19 were identified as isolated metabolites. Also, Modern pharmacological investigations revealed that Ficus drupacea has a wide range of health benefits, including anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, antiulcerogenic, wound healing, anti-hyperlipidemic, hepatoprotective, and antibacterial activities. Because of the limited studies on this species, this review draws attention to further biological and phytochemical research on Ficus drupacea thunb to discover its medicinal uses. | ||
