The number of cases in many countries has been increasing year by year. In Malaysia, the statistics show that the number of diabetic case in 2019 was 3.6 million and expected to increase in 2025 by 7 million. This disease can develop as a result of oxidative stress production in the body. &lt;em&gt;Nephelium lappaceum &lt;/em&gt;was claimed traditionally being used to treat diabetes mellitus. This research is conducted to review the available literature regarding the antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of &lt;em&gt;Nephelium lappaceum&lt;/em&gt; extracts and constituent that contributes to this activity. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The studies included in this review have been selected using several databases including Google Scholar, Wiley Online Library, Science Direct and Pubmed. The keywords used in database search were “&lt;em&gt;Nephelium lappaceum&lt;/em&gt;”, “antioxidant” and “antidiabetic” and covered the period from 2007 onwards. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; This review revealed that &lt;em&gt;Nephelium lappaceum&lt;/em&gt; extracts have good antioxidant and antidiabetic activities when tested using various methods. These activities are due to the presence of several phytoconstituents in the extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; In conclusion, &lt;em&gt;Nephelium lappaceum &lt;/em&gt;possess antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. It has the potential to be developed as an antidiabetic and antioxidant agent which can be used to treat various oxidative stress-related diseases, including diabetes mellitus.&lt;/p&gt;

The presence of any therapeutic potential in HP was also determined by qualitative and quantitative estimation of phytochemicals along with free radical scavenging activity of various successive solvent extracts (based on their polarity). Thin layer chromatography (TLC) of the powdered HP was also done. The standard software SPSS (ver. 15.0) and XLSTAT 2009 (Addinsoft) and Smith&amp;rsquo;s Statistical Package were used for different statistical analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Powder microscopy of HP revealed the presence of calcium oxalate crystal, tracheids, stone cells etc. Various fluorescence colours were exhibited by HP on UV after reacting with different chemical reagents. The analysis values were also obtained in a satisfactory way. TLC and qualitative phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of some active phytoconstituents. Among all the solvent extracts, acetone, heptane, ethyl acetate and benzene extracts showed higher antioxidant potential. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The results support the use of HP as a traditional medicine and further purification should be done for the identification of bioactive phytoconstituents responsible for its antioxidant activity.&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%">348</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arunika Subba and Palash Mandal* &lt;/strong&gt;Department of Botany, Plant Physiology and Pharmacognosy Research Laboratory, University of North Bengal, Siliguri, West Bengal, India.&lt;/p&gt;
