Abstract
The leaves, bark and fruits of Ficus benjamina Linn. were subjected to extraction
and isolation using chromatographic techniques to yield six compounds
(cinnamic acid, lactose, naringenin, quercetin, caffeic acid and stigmasterol).
The structures of the compounds were determined by spectroscopic techniques
and by comparison with published data. The compounds were screened for
antimicrobial activity against two species of bacteria (Bacillus cereus and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and cytotoxic activity against T-lyrnphoblastic leukemic
(CEM-SS) cell line. Caffeic acid exhibited strong cytotoxic activity with IC
50
value of 25 mg/mL.
