Oxidative stress plays a major role in diabetic complications. The study aim was to investigate the in-vitro antidiabetic and antioxidant activities of methanolic extract of Canthium coromandelicum leaves. The plant material was extracted with methanol and the methanolic extract was screened for in-vitro antioxidant activity using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The efficiency of the antidiabetic activity of the plant extract was evaluated against α-amylase and α-glucosidase digestive enzymes. The study revealed that the C. coromandelicum extract exhibited significant α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities with an IC50 value of 31.52 ± 0.42 and 41.49 ± 0.28 µg/mL respectively and compared with standard acarbose drug. The extract efficiently scavenging DPPH radical with IC50 values of 65.46 ± 0.50 µg/ml. Therefore, the extract could be a promising therapeutic in management of diabetic complications.
