Six new flavonoids 2′,4′-dihydroxychalcone-6′-O- β - d -glucopyranoside ( 1 ),  α ,3,2′,4′-tetrahydroxy-4-methoxy-dihydrochalcone-3′-C- β -glucopyranosy-6′-O- β - d -glucopyranoside ( 2 ), 7-hydroxy-5,8′-dimethoxy-6′ α - l -rhamnopyranosyl-8-(3-phenyl-trans-acryloyl)-1-benzopyran-2-one ( 3 ), 6′7-dihydroxy-5,8-dimethoxy-8(3-phenyl-trans-acryloyl)-1-benzopyran-2-one ( 4 ), 9-hydroxy-3,8-dimethoxy-4-prenylpterocarpan ( 5 ), and  α ,4,4′-trihydroxydihydrochalcone-2′-O- β - d -glucopyranoside ( 6 ) were isolated from bark of  Eysenhardtia polystachya.  Antidiabetic activity of compounds  1 – 5  in terms of their cellular antioxidant and free radical scavenging and also in streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced diabetic mice was evaluated on liver transaminases, lipid peroxidation, total bilirubin, total protein, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (CSH-Px), and glutathione reductase (GSH). Results indicated that  1 – 5  scavenged 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl ( ∙ OH), nitric oxide radicals (NO ∙ ), superoxide anion radical (O 2   ∙− ), radical cation (ABTS ∙+ ), and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) radical, and protection against H 2 O 2  induced BSA damage was also observed. Furthermore,  1 – 5  showed ability to decrease the oxidative stress in H9c2 cell. Diabetic mice present high levels of lipid peroxide, total protein, SGPT, SGOT, ALP, and TB. However, treatment of STZ-induced diabetes in mice with  1 – 5  reduced levels of these enzymes leading to protector effect of liver. In addition, with treatment with  1 – 5 , increases in radical scavenging enzymes of CSH-Px, SOD, GSH, and CAT have also been observed in diabetic mice. The antioxidant properties of compounds  1 – 5  are a promising strategy for ameliorating therapeutic effects by avoiding disorders in the normal redox reactions in healthy cells which consequently could alleviate complications of diabetes.
