The fruits of the plant Ficus racemosa and Ficus auriculata are consumed as a wild edible fruit and have also been used extensively in traditional medicine to treat various illnesses ranging from diarrhea, dysentery, jaundice to diabetes, piles, asthma, and urinary diseases. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of methanol extract of the fruits was carried out to identify the possible bioactive compounds. The major constituents identified in F. racemosa were 9, 12, 15-octadecatrienoic acid (z,z,z)-(14.323%); (z)6,(z)9-pentadecadien-1-ol (10.190%); Resorcinol (5.613%); n-hexadecanoic acid (2.965%) and Chloroacetic acid, dodec-9-ynyl ester (0.659%). The compounds like 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, (Z,Z,Z)-(58.216%); L-(+)-Ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate (5.459%); Geranylgeraniol (0.432%); 9,12-Octadecadienoyl chloride, (Z,Z)-(0.151%) and 2H-5a-dimethyl-(0.132%) were identified in F. auriculata. The Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis indicated the presence of N-H, O-H, C=C, C=O, C-H, C-O, S=O, C-N, and N-O functional groups. The results confirm the presence of bioactive components, which are known to exhibit medicinal value as well as pharmacological activities.
