Preliminary Chemical And Toxicological Analysis Of Ficus Exasparata Vahl Plant
ABSTRACT
Proximate analysis, phytochemical and mineral analysis of
Fictis exasperata vahi was carried out. Phytochemical screening reveal the
presence of Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Tannins, Saponins and Cyanogenic Glycosides.
Quantitative analysis of the phytochemicals present showed that Ficus
exasperate had the Alkaloid content in the stem (5.3%) while that of the leaves
is (4. 1%). Cyanogenic glycoside content in both leaves and stems are 230.5
mg/I 00g and 181mg/I 00 respectively. Flavonoid content oc both leaves and
stems were relatively high 2.35% and 3.21% respectively. Tannins and Saponnins
equally were present in relative Loncentraton 4.1 x 10 % and 0.13% in leaves
resoectivelv. The plant extract equally showed the presence of minerals in
moderate concentration.
