Ethnobotanical surveys in Kankan (Guinea) led to an inventory of 78 plants used in the treatment of hypertension and diabetes. Among them, 31 plants producing edible fruits were selected. From these, 16 were anti- hypertensive, 8 anti- diabetic and 7 were used to treat hypertension as well as diabetes. The strongest anti-oxydative activity was observed in the hydro alcoholic fruit extracts of Tamarindus indica L. (116.75 %), Diospyros mespiliformis Hochst. ex A. DC. (111.75 %), Strychnos spinosa Lam. ( 111.71 %) and Aframomum melegueta ( 111.12 %). The alcoholic extracts of Cissus aralioides (Welw. Ex Bak. ), Cola cordifolia (Cav. ) R. Br., Gardenia ternifolia, Syzygium guineense (Willd.) DC were devoid of any antioxidant activity.
