Abstract:

The current research was conducted to determine the antioxidant capacity of Ficus carica L. leaves ethanol extract and its phytochemical analysis for its total phenolic, polyphenols, and total flavonoids. Using herbal leaf extracts as analytes, the nutraceutical effects of phytochemicals were investigated in defense against oxidative stress, inflammation, and immune-related diseases. The metabolic effects of antioxidant activities were biochemically altered through in vitro assays to compare the antioxidant properties, which included quantification of leaf extracts by FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) assay, ABTS scavenging activity against ascorbic acid and DPPH assay. Phytochemicals were revealed to significantly increase phenols, polyphenols, and flavonoid compounds, which possess an essential role in chemoprevention of aging. Phenolic compounds extensively possess metabolic effects in scavenging free radicals, antioxidant properties and the reducing capability of Ficus carica L. leaf extract. in vitro antioxidant profiling showed a vital character in neutralizing the scavenging of free radicals present in the body, which protects tissues and cells from the oxidative damage. Metabolic profiling of DPPH, FRAP, and vitamin C assays showed an increase in oxidative stress of cellular health and diagnosed or reduced the risk of anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antidiabetic, antifungal, and neurodegenerative aging.
