continuous bid to explore new biocompatible antioxidant and
antimicrobial with the least associated side-effects Ficus carica
were tested against pathogenic microorganisms; S.epidermidis
K.pneumoniae B.subtilis E.aerogens B.cereus. The methanol extracts
were prepared and screened for in-vitro antioxidant activities an
antimicrobial activity using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)
and agar well diffusion method respectively. In addition, exract
ofFicus carica prepared by soxlet apparatus and were partially
purified by preparatory thin layer chromatography (TLC).In
conclusion, the results indicate antimicrobial activity of the
