Popis: Today, medicinal plants have a crucial role in treating diseases such as diabetes and cancer. These plants do not impose any side effects owing to their bioactive compounds in comparison with chemical drugs. Several studies have demonstrated antioxidant capacity and α-glucosidase inhibitory effects of bioactive compounds from medicinal plants. According to previous studies, Moringa peregrina (MP) and Ferulago carduchorum (FC) are two promising plants in terms of antioxidant capacity and α-glucosidase inhibitory effects. This research followed a three-stage study. In the first stage, the antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory properties of MP and FC ethanolic extracts, native to Iran, were compared using spectrophotometric methods. The results showed that the ABTS•+ radical scavenging and α-glucosidase enzyme inhibitory activities of both plants were dependent on extract concentration. MP exhibited lower IC50 values in both tests, 1.01 and 4.96 mg·mL−1, respectively. Accordingly, the extract of MP was selected for further experiments. In the second stage, total phenolic content (TPC) and GC-MS analysis were conducted on MP extract to investigate the reason behind its antioxidant capacity and α-glucosidase inhibitory properties. Results of assessing total phenolic content (TPC) using the Folin-Ciocalteu method revealed a strong positive correlation between TPC with antioxidant activity (r = 0.94, p
