Traditionally, Cichorium ontybus leaves have been extensively used to delicacy numerous infectious diseases. The aims of this examination were to determine the total phenol and flavonoid content of this plant using spectrophotometer; and assess the antioxidant and antidiabetic possessions of the polyphenol rich fraction form leaves of Cichorium ontybus. The total flavonoid, and phenolic content assays showed that the flavonoid rich fraction had higher phenolic. The ABTS radical, Lipid peroxidation metal chelating, superoxide radical, nitric oxide scavenging and reducing power abilities and antidiabetic activity were also evaluated. The flavonoid rich fraction fraction revealed higher antioxidant properties of ABTS radical (65.32%), Lipid peroxidation (71.67%) metal chelating (68.90%), superoxide scavenging activity (65.32%). The antidiabetic properties of the polyphenol rich fraction were analyzed by the inhibition of digestive enzyme method, and the flower extracts had higher antibacterial activities against the four bacterial strains used in the study. This study provides information on the synergistic antioxidant and antidiabetic properties of phenolics derived from the leaf parts of Cichorium ontybus.
