TL;DR: Four known compounds were isolated from the leaves of Ficus elastica Roxb and showed antibacterial activity but no antifungal activity was observed against the tested organisms.
Abstract: Four known compounds (emodin, sucrose, morin and rutin) were isolated from the leaves of Ficus elastica Roxb The structures of the compounds were established by spectroscopic techniques and by comparison with published data The compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity against two species of bacteria, Bacillus cereus (Gram-positve) and PseuiUlmonas aeruginosa (Gram-negative) and four species of fungi by using the disc diffusion method The compounds showed antibacterial activity but no antifungal activity was observed against the tested organisms

TL;DR: The leaves, bark and fruits of Ficus benjamina Linn were subjected to extraction and isolation using chromatographic techniques to yield six compounds (cinnamic acid, lactose, naringenin, quercetin, caffeic acid and stigmasterol), which were screened for antimicrobial activity and cytotoxic activity.
Abstract: The leaves, bark and fruits of Ficus benjamina Linn. were subjected to extraction and isolation using chromatographic techniques to yield six compounds (cinnamic acid, lactose, naringenin, quercetin, caffeic acid and stigmasterol). The structures of the compounds were determined by spectroscopic techniques and by comparison with published data. The compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity against two species of bacteria (Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and cytotoxic activity against T-lyrnphoblastic leukemic (CEM-SS) cell line. Caffeic acid exhibited strong cytotoxic activity with IC 50 value of 25 mg/mL.

TL;DR: In this paper, three highlyoxygenated flavonoids; gardenin E (1), gardenin A (2), and gardenin C (3) were elucidated based on NMR, MS, UV, IR data and also by comparison with the previous works.
Abstract: Chemical studies on the constituents of the leaves of Murraya paniculata (Lynn) Jack have furnished three highly-oxygenated flavonoids; gardenin E (1), gardenin A (2), and gardenin C (3). Structures of the compounds were elucidated based on NMR, MS, UV, IR data and also by comparison with the previous works. The antimicrobial activities of these compounds and the crude extracts were also evaluated.
