ABSTRACT

Uttarakhand is the state located at the foothills of the snow-clad Himalayas with lush green vegetation. There is a diverse range of flora and fauna habitats in Uttarakhand. The State has rich and diverse floral, faunal and microbial wealth including rare and threatened species of plants and animals. The genus Ficus belongs to the Moraceae family comprising approximately 750 species in tropical and subtropical regions in India; 27 species in Uttarakhand. Many Ficus species have been used as ethnopharmacological for the treatment of many diseases. This comprehensive review describes the Ficus species present in Uttarakhand for the phytochemical compounds and contemporary pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, cytotoxic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antiulcer, and anticonvulsant. An extended survey of the current literature (Science Direct, Scopus, and PubMed) has been carried out as part of the current work. The present review may provide useful evidence for reasonable utilization of Ficus species as phytochemical, and pharmacological studies for drug innovation. Keywords; Ficus species, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, phytoconstituents and Pharmacological active compounds
