Abstract
The first report for isolation and identification of 4, 4, 24-trimelhyl-cholesta-8-en-3-B-ol, mixture of campesterol, stigmasterol and. $-sitosterol, stigmasterol 3-B-o`glucoside and 4, 5, 7-trihydroxy flavan-3-ol. In addition to xantholoxin, $-amyrin and "-amyrin from n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions of ethanol extract of Ficus capensis (Thunb) leaves Identification of these compounds has been established by spectral evidences (UV, IR, MS, H and C-NMR). Ficus capensis (Thunb) Family Moraceae is an evergreen tree widely 1 13 distributed in tropics. Various parts of the tree has been reported to possess medicinal properties. Both leaves and roots have been used internally as tonic, anti-rheumatic, to reduce fever and for treatment of tuberculosis while externally. They were used for leprosy, leucodermia and swollen fects. Previously we reported the (3,4) isolation and characterization of different constituents from Ficus benjemina and Ficus elastica. Some of these compounds showed interesting biological activities. In the course of our studies on the constituents of different Ficus plants we examined the constituents of Ficus capensis (Thunb). This study deals with the isolation and identification of flavanol, coumarins, steroids and triterpenes from the leaves of the title plant.
