Gymnocarpos decandrus (Caryophyllaceae) is a well-known wild plant used as a food for grazing animals. Recently it showed potent antidiabetic potential beside its established anti-inflammatory, analgesic and diuretic activities. G. decandrus antidiabetic potential was reported through in-vitro models and resulted in promising α- amylase, α- glucosidase and antiviral Coxsackie B4 inhibitory activities; however no in-vivo studies were conducted.
