Antioxidant is a new hype in naturopathy and at present it has huge demand in cosmetic, nutritional supplementation and pharmacological industry. It reduces cell damages caused by free-radical which are responsible for various ailment like ageing, cancer, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative disorders, atherosclerosis, cataracts and inflammation. At present any comprehensive data on the antioxidant content and extent of their activity of the indigenous medicinal plants of Bangladesh is not available. Therefore, here antioxidant activity of a popular medicinal plant -Ficus racemosa was determined. Methanolic extract was prepared from the leaf and stem bark of F. racemosa. Their total phenolics and free radical scavenging capacity was determined using folin-ciocalteu reagent (FCR) assay and DPPD-radical scavenging assay respectively. Stem bark and leaves of F. racemosa contains 242.97 and 235.45 mg of GAE / gm of dried extract of phenolics respectively. Current studies also show that F. racemosa barks contain a high antioxidant activity. IC 50 value of bark extract was found to be 19µg/ml which is even better that of the standard BHT. Therefore, present studies suggest that F. racemosa bark has a huge potential in terms of commercial use as source of antioxidant.Key word: Ficus racemosa, plant extract, phenolic conttent, antioxidant. mvivsk: cÖ K… wZZ ‡Z¡ ( †bPv ‡ivc¨v_x ‡Z) A¨vw›UAw· ‡W›U GKwU mv¤úª wZK AvKl© Y Ges eZ© gv ‡b cÖ mvab, cy wó mn ‡hvMx Ges Jlawk ‡í Gi cÖ Pz i Pvwn`v i ‡q ‡Q| Giv †` ‡ni Af¨šÍ ‡i cÖ wZwbqZ m" ó gy ³ AYy KZ… © K m" ó †Kvlxq ¶wZ (W¨v ‡gR) n« vm K ‡i, hv wewfboe kvwiwiK Amȳ' Zv †hgb eqme" w×, K¨vÝvi, ü` ‡ivM, Wvqv ‡ewUm, ¯oe vhy ‡ivM, nvo ¶q, Qvwb I cÖv ‡ni Rb¨ `vqx| Ghver ch© šÍ evsjv ‡`kx Jlwa Dw™¢mg ‡n we`¨gvb A¨vw›UAw· ‡W ‡›Ui cÖ K… wZ Ges Zvi Kvh© KvwiZv m¤ú ‡K© cwicỸ© †Kvb avibv †bB| ZvB GLv ‡b GKwU RbwcÖ q Jlax Dw™¢ Wz gy i (dvBKvm †iwm ‡gvmv) Gi A¨vw›UAw· ‡W ‡›Ui Kvh© KvixZv hvPvB Kiv n ‡q ‡Q| GB Kv ‡Ri Rb¨ Wz gy i Mv ‡Qi cvZv I evKj Gi wg_vbj wbh© vm ˆZwi Kiv n ‡q ‡Q Ges Zvi g ‡a¨ we`¨gvb m¤úỸ© ‡dbj Dcv`v ‡bi cwigvY I Zvi gy ³ AYy i AcmviY ` ¶Zv cwigvc Kiv n ‡q ‡Q h_vµ ‡g dwjb-K¨vjPz cwi ¶Y I wWwcwcGBP-gy ³ AYy i AcmviY ` ¶Zv cwi ¶Y Gi gva¨ ‡g| Wz gy i Mv ‡Qi evKj I cvZvi cÖ wZ MÖ vg ﮋ wbh© v ‡m h_vµ ‡g 242.97 Ges 235.45 wg.MÖ v. mgcwigvY wRGB ‡dbwjK Dcv`vb i ‡q ‡Q| cix ¶ ‡Y †`Lv hv ‡"Q †h, Wz gy i Mv ‡Qi evK ‡ji D"P A¨vw›UAw· ‡W›U Kvh© KvwiZv i ‡q ‡Q| Gi evK ‡ji IC 50 gvb 19 gvB ‡µvMÖ vg/wgwj wjUvi hv GgbwK GB cix ¶ ‡Y e¨eüZ ÷¨vÛvW© weGBPwU Gi ‡P ‡q fv ‡jv| my Zivs, GB cix ¶Y GUv cÖ gvY K ‡i †h, A¨vw›UAw· ‡W ‡›Ui Drm wnmv ‡e evwYwR¨K e¨env ‡ii † ¶ ‡Î Wz gy i Mv ‡Qi evK ‡ji cÖ Pz i m¤¢ vebv i ‡q ‡Q|
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
