AB  - This study aimed to determine antioxidant, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities of methanolextracts of Achillea crithmifolia Waldst. & Kit. (AC), A. millefolium L. (AM), A. nobilis subsp. neilreichii (A.Kern.) Velen.(AN), A. setacea Waldst. & Kit. (AS) and A. wilhelmsii K. Koch (AW) species which grow naturally in Türkiye.DPPH/ABTS radicals scavenging, α-glucosidase inhibition and anti 5-lipoxygenase methods were used to determinefor antioxidant, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities, respectively. The total phenol content of the extracts wascalculated using Folin-Ciocalteau solution and the highest phenol content was found in AC methanol extract (ACM)(56.71 mg GAE/g). In DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity assays, ACM showed the highest antioxidant activityaccording to IC50 values (54.85 and 79.77 μg/mL, respectively). According to the results of α-glucosidase inhibitoryactivity test, AN methanol extract (ANM) with an IC50 value of 245.50 μg/mL showed a better activity than acarbose(261.7 μg/mL) by inhibiting the enzyme. As a result of anti-inflammatory activity, it was observed that ACM had thehighest activity (90.30 μg/mL). Therefore, ACM, which has the best antioxidant, anti 5-lipoxygenase activity and thesecond best value close to the standard in terms of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, was fractionated with 3 differentsolvents (hexane-ACH, chloroform-ACC and ethyl acetate-ACEA). Biological activity studies were repeated on thesefractions. The ACH fraction showed the best anti-inflammatory activity while the ACEA fraction showed the bestantidiabetic activity. The biological activities of five Achillea species were not examined before by comparing with eachother. In addition, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activity studies on A. crithmifolia were conducted for the firsttime.
