The extract was tested for antioxidant activity by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and for anti-inflammatory potential by using a nitrite assay. The extract was also screened for phytochemicals by different chemical tests. The results showed that the Ficus nitida extract had significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that were concentration-dependent. Phytochemical analysis of the methanol extract proved the presence of alkaloids and/or nitrogenous compounds, carbohydrates and/or glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, and triterpenes and/or sterols. These results indicated that a methanolic extract of Ficus nitida aerial parts may act as a potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. ? 2018 DAR Publishers/The University of Jordan.
