Abstract: In this experiment the activities of α-Glucosidase inhibitor of tannins and saponins from Cornus officinalis wereevaluated by using α-glucosidase activity inhibitory kinetics assay. The results showed that there is good inhibition of saponins. Its IC50 and Ki are 0.482mg/ml and1.051mg/ml respectively. It has a higher thermal stability. However, the inhibition of tannins is non-competitive. Its IC50 and Ki are 0.220mg/ml and 0.148mg/ml respectively. It has no thermal stability .

Key words: Cornus officinalis; &alpha, -glucosidase inhibitor; saponins; tannins; non-competitive; competitive;
