Abstract
The folklore medicinal plant leaves of Ficus mollis were selected for the study. We were performed for elemental analysis, i.e., macronutrients and toxic and heavy metal contents. All the values are within the safe limits. The plant specimens were successively extracted with solvents such as petroleum ether, Chloroform, ethyl acetate, and Ethanol. The preliminary phytochemical studies of FML confirmed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, steroids, glycosides, alkaloids, and triterpenoids. The present study also investigated FML antioxidant activity using in vitro methods. The EEFML showed significant antioxidant activity in all models studied compared with ascorbic acid. It possesses good activity in scavenging DPPH radical, Hydroxyl radical, Nitric oxide radical, and scavenging H2O2.Further investigation of individual Phyto compounds, their isolation, identification, and their role as free radical scavengers is needed.
