cluster fig
Ficus racemosa
Ficus racemosa, commonly known as Indian mulberry or griffithia fig, originates from traditional medicine practices in India and other parts of Asia. Traditionally, it has not been extensively documented for specific medicinal uses across various cultures. Scientific studies have identified two new biflavonoids from the leaves, which show promising bioactivity scores but require further investigation. The bark extract demonstrated anti-ophidic properties with chlorogenic acid exhibiting in vitro venom-neutralizing activity. Additionally, research indicates that zinc nanoparticles derived from Ficus racemosa can improve shrimp survival and immune function when added to their diet. While no major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded, the current evidence is limited, and more extensive studies are needed to validate these findings.

Lo que dice la ciencia
- Se identificaron dos nuevos biflavonoides en las hojas de Ficus racemosa, mostrando potencial como inhibidores de COX-1/COX-2.
- El estudio identificó ácido clorogénico de Ficus racemosa como mostrando propiedades potenciales antiofídicas in vitro.
- Ficus racemosa mostró un potencial prometedor como prebiótico, pero no demostró los niveles más altos de fibra dietética o oligosacáridos en comparación con otras plantas estudiadas.
- El estudio mostró que los camarones alimentados con dietas enriquecidas con nanopartículas de zinc derivadas de Dumur (Ficus racemosa) presentaron una mejor supervivencia, crecimiento, biomarcadores inmunológicos y resistencia a patógenos en comparación con los controles.
