Natural products particularly plant origin have pla yed a vital role in prevention and mitigation of human diseases. The present study was carried to evaluate the antihyperglycaemic and wound healing activity of th e leaf Extracts of Tiliacora acuminate (Lam) on rats, the aqueous leaf extract was found to prod uce significant reduction of blood glucose concentration between 2- 4 h of administration in alloxan induced hyperglycaemic rats at tested dose levels. However, in normoglycaemic animals, the extract at 400mg/kg produced significa nt reduction of blood glucose between 2-4 h of administration. In the wound heali ng studies, the leaf juice was found to be more active than the extract.
