Soursop fruit has been used in folklore for the management of type-2 diabetes and hypertension with limited information on the scientific backing. This study investigated the effects of aqueous extracts (1 : 100 w/v) of Soursop fruit part (pericarp, pulp, and seed) on key enzymes linked to type-2 diabetes ( α -amylase and  α -glucosidase) and hypertension [angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE)]. Radicals scavenging and Fe 2+  chelation abilities and reducing property as well as phenolic contents of the extracts were also determined. Our data revealed that the extracts inhibited  α -amylase and  α -glucosidase and ACE activities dose-dependently. The effective concentration of the extract causing 50% antioxidant activity (EC 50 ) revealed that pericarp extract had the highest  α -amylase (0.46 mg/mL),  α -glucosidase (0.37 mg/mL), and ACE (0.03 mg/mL) inhibitory activities while the seed extract had the least [ α -amylase (0.76 mg/mL);  α -glucosidase (0.73 mg/mL); and ACE (0.20 mg/mL)]. Furthermore, the extracts scavenged radicals, reduced Fe 3+  to Fe 2+ , and chelated Fe 2+ . The phenolic contents in the extracts ranged from 85.65 to 560.21 mg/100 g. The enzymes inhibitory and antioxidants potentials of the extracts could be attributed to their phenolic distributions which could be among the scientific basis for their use in the management of diabetes and hypertension. However, the pericarp appeared to be most promising.
