摘　　要：Objective： This study evaluates the phytochemical constituents, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, cytotoxicity, and inhibitory activity against carbohydrate metabolism of extracts from Ocotea bullata stem bark. Methods： Hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol and water were used to extract the air-dried sample. The phytochemical investigation and antioxidant assays were carried out on the extracts using standard procedures. The antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory potentials were evaluated using α-amylase, α-glucosidase and 5-1ipoxygenase enzymes respectively. Vero cells were employed to determine the cytotoxicity of the extracts. Results： The ethyl acetate extract showed higher phenolic contents （8.97 mg/g gallic acid） while metha- nol displayed higher flavonoid （36.06 mg/g quercetin） and flavonol （153.44 mg/g rutin） contents than other extracts. Hexane extract had the greatest capacity to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl （0.19mg/mL）, hydroxyl （25.77mg/mL） and 2,2-azino-bisC3-ethylbenzothiazoline）-6-sulfonic acid （0.07 mg/mL） radicals, while ethyl acetate extract exhibited stronger inhibition （P 〈 0.05） against superoxide anion （0.41 mg/mL） and ferric ion-reducing power （2.36 mg/mL） compared to other extracts and standards. Aqueous extract （27.02 mg/mL） exhibited strong metal-chelating activity （P 〈 0.05） compared to other extracts and gallic acid. The aqueous extract demonstrated the greatest inhibition of α-glucosidase （1.45 mg/mL） and α-amylase （2.43 mg/mL） compared to other extracts and acarbose. There were no significant differences （P 〈 0.05） in half-maximum inhibitory concentration （ICso） values of all tested extracts and indomethacin in the inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase activity. The aqueous extract was nontoxic to Vero cells with an IC50 value of 0.38 mg/mL. Conclusion： O. bullata stem bark contains active phytochemicals with diverse pharmacological potentials that could be beneficial in managing diabetes and inflammatObjective： This study evaluates the phytochemical constituents, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, cytotoxicity, and inhibitory activity against carbohydrate metabolism of extracts from Ocotea bullata stem bark.
