Investigation on the Chemical Constituents of the Leaves
of Ficus elastica Roxb. and Their Antimicrobial Activity.

Abstract
Four known compounds (emodin, sucrose, morin and rutin) were isolated
from the leaves of Ficus elastica Roxb. The structures of the compounds were
established by spectroscopic techniques and by comparison with published
data. The compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity against two
species of bacteria, Bacillus cereus (Gram-positve) and PseuiUlmonas aeruginosa
(Gram-negative) and four species of fungi by using the disc diffusion method.
The compounds showed antibacterial activity but no antifungal activity was
observed against the tested organisms.
