a nervous disorder in cattle, caused by the plants ficus ingens var. ingens and ficus cordata subsp. salicifolia.	two outbreaks of neurotoxicoses are reported in cattle browsing on the leaves of ficus spp. in the first outbreak, three animals died and one became ill. a sheep developed severe nervous signs, including tetanic spasms, when dosed with the leaves of ficus ingens var. ingens from the toxic camp where the cattle had died. the second outbreak resulted in the death of 12 heifers within 48 h of ingestion of the leaves of f. cordata subsp. salicifolia. clinical signs included hyperaesthesia, ataxia, m ...	1994	7596567
antimicrobial activity of the crude extracts and compounds from ficus chlamydocarpa and ficus cordata (moraceae).	the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the methanol extracts from ficus chlamydocarpa (fcr), ficus cordata (fcb), mixture of the two plants (fcm), as well as that of the isolated flavonoids alpinumisoflavone (2), genistein (3), laburnetin (4), luteolin (5) (isolated from fcr), catechin (7) and epiafzelechin (8) (isolated from fcb). mycobacteria, fungi, gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial species were tested for their susceptibility to the above samples. the mic ...	2008	18718518
phytochemical and pharmacological study of ficus cordata growing in saudi arabia.	phytochemical study of the aerial parts of ficus cordata utilizing liquid-liquid fractionation and different chromatographic techniques resulted in the isolation of four furanocoumarins: psoralene (1), hydroxy isoimperatorin (2), oxypeucedanin hydrate (3) and dorsteniol (4), the flavone glycoside rutin (5), b-sitosterol and sucrose. structures of the isolated compounds were established through physical, 1d- and 2d-nmr and ms data. the total extract of the plant was examined in vivo for its possi ...	2014	25362608
