The aim of the present study was a preliminary phytochemical and thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis of the various extracts of Ficus carica leaves. Phytochemical analysis was carried out using the standard phytochemical assays. TLC analysis of the chloroform and ethanol extract of the leaves was carried out using the solvent system Ethanol: Chloroform (9:1) and Ethanol: Hexane (3:7), respectively. The findings of the preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of various chemical compounds like alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, carbohydrates, tannins, phenols, fixed oil and fats. The three Rf value (0.59, 0.78 & 0.94) and six Rf value (0.05, 0.21, 0.34, 0.51, 0.65 & 0.87) were found in TLC plate of chloroform and ethanol extracts, respectively.
