A general, efficient and simple methodology for biocatalytic reduction of carbonyl compounds at room temperature using freshly cut ripen fruit of figs ( Ficus carica ) in aqueous medium, has been reported. It was found that the prochiral ketones could be reduced to chial secondary alcohols in a generalized way. The obtained results indicated that figs ( Ficus carica ) fruits can be used as biochemical catalysts to contribute to the preparation of many pharmaceutical compounds . This
