Abstract :Corn tassel insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Zea may L.); is rich in phenolic compounds including flavonoids and anthocyanins. The aim of this study is to consider the results of the contents of phenolics insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TPC);, flavonoids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TFC);, flavonol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TF);, anthocyanins insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TAC);, alfa-amylase inhibitory activity, and antioxidant activity including FRAP and metal chelating capabilities insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MCC); as potential Antiviral and anti-Rheumatoid arthritis. Significantly high levels of antioxidant capacity, total flavonol and alfa-amylase inhibition were found in ethanolic extracts of corn tassels. It was found that their concentrations are TPC= 40 mg GA/g, TFC= 13 mg QE/g, TF= 45 mg R/g, and TAC= 8 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside/g based on dry extract. Additionally, the extracts showed relatively higher antioxidant activities due to metal chelating capabilities insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MCC); were found to be 217 mg Fe2+/g dry extract. From the GC-MS analysis, corn tassel was found to be good source of arctigenin that has antiviral and anti- rheumatic properties. Further, the extracts of corn tassels showed significantly higher α-amylase inhibitory activity up to 90 %. Thus, it was concluded that extracts of corn tassels may be considered as pharmacological potential in rheumatoid and antiviral treatment.
