“…After qualitative analysis of phytochemical constituents, the alkaloids, falvonoids and saponins were measured quantitatively since these constituents are more common and important versus others and results are shown in Table-6. Alkaloids are naturally occurring chemical compounds contain more than 12000 cyclic nitrogenous compounds and found subsequently more than 20 % in global fauna 28 . Flavonoids are chemical species found naturally as a phytochemical in plant species having high potential of retarding the in vitro oxidation of lipoproteins 29 .…”

“…Saponins are one of class of organic compounds secondary metabolites and found in abundance in plant species. More specifically, they are amphipathic glycosides in terms of phenomenology and produce hydrophilic glycosides moieties when combined with lipophilic triterpene derivative 28 . The alkaloid, flavonoids and saponis in R. communis seeds were recorded to be 10.4 ± 0.4, 8.3 ± 0.7 and 0.4 ± 0.2 %, respectively.…”

The history of plants as high valuable source of medicines dates back to 4000 to 5000 B.C. The forerunners in using plants as medicinal source were Chinese and Indian. Authoritative and invaluable information and references regarding drug yielding plants have been extensively described by Dioscorides in his famous book 'De Materia Medica'. So, among all invaluable sources of drug yielding plants, nature is the most important source of medicine development 1. Since immemorial time, researchers have proved that diagnosis, treatment and management of death causing diseases through plants cannot be accentuated. This feature of plants makes them most significant and safe source for diagnosis and treatment of human ailments 2. Until now, various active components have been extracted from medicinal plants and are utilized by pharmaceutical companies in the synthesis of allopathic medicines and then these are used against human and animal infections. More than 400,000 species of plants contain phyto components such as bioactive peptides, dyes, rubbers, flavonoids, gums resins, phyto hormones and bio pesticides have been reported. World Health Organization (WHO) reports show that about 80 % health care requirements are dependent on plants particularly medicinal plants 3 .

Nepal is blessed with most varied and diverse soil and climate conditions suitable for the growth of veritable plant species. The indigenous people are well acquainted with the properties and uses of plants of their surroundings. Until the middle of the 19 th century, plants were the main therapeutic agents used by humans. About 60% of the world population and 60-90% of the population of developing countries rely on traditional medicine [3] and about 85% of the traditional remedies for primary health care are derived from plants. [4] In Nepal, at least 1,600 to 1,900 species of plants are commonly used in traditional medicinal practices. [5] Traditional medicine in Nepal is used extensively by majority of the population, and includes Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Unani and various forms of indigenous medicine including Tibetan Amchi medicine. [6] Traditional medicine in Nepal comprises those practices based on beliefs that were in existence often for hundreds to thousands of years before the development and spread of modern medicine, and which are still in use today. In the past, many rural areas of Nepal, traditional medicinal knowledge and practice were passed down entirely via oral tradition based on a lineage mode of transmission and personal experience. [7] More recently, however, knowledge transfer has also occurred through formally recognized

“…Therefore, the attention of natural antioxidants has been raised considerably in the study of certain fruits, vegetables and 4 . Its crude extract exhibited antioxidant, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antihyperlipidemic, hepatoprotective activity as well as contain a higher amount of flavonoid content [5][6][7][8] . Fruits of F. auriculata are not only valuable for its nutritional value but also contains a higher amount of phenolic compounds as compared to other parts.…”

In this study, the extraction conditions to maximize the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of Ficus auriculata were optimized using response surface methodology. For the purpose of extraction, the Ultrasonic assisted extraction technique was employed. A second-order polynomial model satisfactorily fitted to the experimental findings concerning antioxidant activity (R2 = 0.968, P<0.0001) and total phenolic content (R2 = 0.961, P<0.0001), indicating a significant correlation between the experimental and expected value. The highest antioxidant activity (85.20 ± 0.96 %) for DPPH were achieved at the optimum extraction parameters of 52.5% ethanol (v/v), 40.0 °C temperature, and 22 min extraction time. Alternatively, the highest yield of total phenolic content was found 31.65 ± 0.94 mg GAE/g DF at the optimum extraction conditions. From the LC-ESI-MS profiling of the optimized extract, 18 bioactive compounds were tentatively identified, which may regulate the antioxidant activity of fruits of F. auriculata.
