Does antioxidant and antibacterial activities of flavonoid glycosides from Ficus exasperata Vahl-Holl ( moraceae ) leave?
These flavonoid glycosides are being reported in this plant species for the first time. Their weak in vitro antimicrobial activity suggest the flavonoids may be acting as pro-drug. The radical scavenging activity of the compounds may justify some of the ethnomedicinal uses of the plant as free radicals are implicated in the aetiology of many inflammatory diseases.
This work provides evidence supporting that CRALBP is a direct downstream target of Pax6. However, the role of CRALBP in the cortex is yet to be elucidated.
