Antioxidant assay is performed by DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assay, Anti diabetic activity was determined by modified method of miller, the extract at different concentrations was tested for mammalian alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase enzyme inhibitory assay under the controlled experimental conditions and subjected to determination of absorbance. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The present study reveals the presence of few secondary metabolites and the extract exhibits potent Antioxidant activity and a concentration dependent inhibition of Alpha amylase and Alpha glucosidase.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; From the present study it can be concluded that ethanolic seed extract of Acacia catechu possessed marked in vitro antioxidant and anti-diabetic effect. The effect was plausibly due to the presence of phenolic contents of Acacia catechu&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">356</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thangavelu Lakshmi&lt;sup&gt;*1&lt;/sup&gt;, Rajendran Ramasamy&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; and Rathinam Thirumalaikumaran&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;Department of Pharmacology, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Chennai, India. 2Department of R and D, Green Chem Herbal Extracts and Formulations, Bangalore, India. 3Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Sree Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, chennai, India.&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
