The research aimed to explore the phytochemical composition and potential antidiabetic effects of Bauhinia variegata, a medicinal herb traditionally utilized for various health benefits. An in vitro evaluation was conducted on various extracts of the plant to detect the presence of important bioactive compounds including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. The assessment of antidiabetic activity was carried out by examining the plant's influence on glucose absorption, as well as the inhibition of α-amylase. The findings revealed a significant presence of secondary metabolites, with the extracts demonstrating considerable antidiabetic effects, suggesting that Bauhinia variegata may offer valuable therapeutic options for diabetes management.
