Abstract The present paper deals with Loban a resinous excudate from the plant Styrax benzoin, found in crystals of white and gryeish brown colour. Antioxidant, Anti inflammatory and Antidiabetic activity was carried out. Antioxidant assay was estimated by DPPH method as described by Siddartha baliyan et.al., (2022), anti inflammatory asssay by protien denaturation adopted by Zephy D and Ahmed (2015) and Maritim et al., (2003) method. While anti diabetic assay measured in vitro alpha amylase inhibition prescribed by method of Bernfeld (1955). white crystals of Loban shows highest antioxidant potential nearly 90% of inhibition at 100µg/ml than greyish brown crystals of loban at all tested concentration, exhibit higher radical scavenging efficiency. The anti inflammatory assay shows white crystals reveals 45% of denaturation/inhibition at 100µg/ml sample and crystal greyish shows 55% of inhibition, reflects samples contain bioactive constituents, capable of stabilizing protiens and preventing denaturation. The antidiabetic assay indicate greyish brown loban crystals exhibit better inhibitory activity than white crystals, suggesting its higher effectiveness in suppressing enzyme activity. Therefore, Loban crystals reveals good amount of antioxidant, anti inflammatory and antidiabetic properties.
