Ficus Sycomorus L. is a plant widely used in Senegal by traditional healers for the management of certain pathologies such as stomach aches or skin rashes. The objective of our work is to determine the contents of total polyphenols and flavonoids of the methanolic extracts of the different organs of Ficus Sycomorus L. Subsequently, the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of these extracts were studied. Polyphenols, flavonoids, sterols and polyterpenes are present in all plant organs. The antioxidant capacities expressed as IC50 of the methanolic extracts of the different organs of Ficus Sycomorus L. reveal that the stem bark extract has the best activity with an IC50 of 0.237 ± 0.016 mg/mL. This good activity is in agreement with the high levels of total polyphenols in stem bark (193.4257 ± 0.6971 mg/g of gallic acid equivalent). The steam bark extract give the best results for the antimicrobial tests with a MIC value of 1.875 mg/mL on Staphylococcus Aureus ATCC 29212. The good scavenging activity of the Ficus Sycomorus L. extracts on free radical and the good biological activity justify the use of this plant in traditional medicine. The best antibacterial activities of stem bark of Ficus Sycomorus L. on the different bacterial strains can be explained by the higher polyphenol content of stem bark compared to leaves and fruits of Ficus Sycomorus L.
