This study evaluated the levels of the bioactive compounds, and the antioxidant and starch-hydrolyzing enzymes inhibitory properties of six pipeline <i>Striga</i>-resistant yellow-orange maize hybrids (coded AS1828-1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11) in vitro. The maize hybrids were grown at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Nigeria. The bioactive compounds (total phenolics, tannins, flavonoids, and phytate) levels, antioxidant (DPPH<sup>•</sup> and ABTS<sup>•+</sup> scavenging capacity and reducing power) and starch-hydrolyzing enzymes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) inhibitory activities of the maize hybrids were determined by spectrophotometry. At the same time, carotenoids were quantified using a reverse-phase HPLC system. The ranges of the bioactive compounds were: 11.25–14.14 mg GAE/g (total phenolics), 3.62–4.67 mg QE/g (total flavonoids), 3.63–6.29 mg/g (tannins), 3.66–4.31% (phytate), 8.92–12.11 µg/g (total xanthophylls), 2.42–2.89 µg/g (total β-carotene), and 3.17–3.77 µg/g (total provitamin A carotenoids). Extracts of the maize hybrids scavenged DPPH<sup>•</sup> (SC<sub>50</sub>: 9.07–26.35 mg/mL) and ABTS<sup>•+</sup> (2.65–7.68 TEAC mmol/g), reduced Fe<sup>3+</sup> to Fe<sup>2+</sup> (0.25 ± 0.64–0.43 ± 0.01 mg GAE/g), and inhibited α-amylase and α-glucosidase, with IC<sub>50</sub> ranges of 26.28–52.55 mg/mL and 47.72–63.98 mg/mL, respectively. Among the six clones of the maize hybrids, AS1828-9 had the highest (<i>p</i> < 0.05) levels of tannins and phytate and the strongest antioxidant and starch-hydrolyzing enzymes inhibitory activities. Significant correlations were observed between total phenolics and the following: ABTS<sup>•+</sup> (<i>p</i> < 0.01, r = 0.757), DPPH<sup>•</sup> SC<sub>50</sub> (<i>p</i> < 0.01, r = −0.867), reducing power (<i>p</i> < 0.05, r = 0.633), α-amylase IC<sub>50</sub> (<i>p</i> < 0.01, r = −0.836) and α-glucosidase IC<sub>50</sub> (<i>p</i> < 0.05, r = −0.582). Hence, the <i>Striga</i>-resistant yellow-orange maize hybrids (especially AS1828-9) may be beneficial for alleviating oxidative stress and postprandial hyperglycemia.Abdulazeez Olamilekan ElemoshoEmmanuel Anyachukwu IrondiEmmanuel Oladeji AlamuEmmanuel Oladipo AjaniAbebe MenkirBusie Maziya-DixonMDPI AGarticletotal phenolicstotal flavonoidstanninscarotenoidsphytic acidalpha-glucosidase inhibition assayOrganic chemistryQD241-441ENMolecules, Vol 26, Iss 6874, p 6874 (2021)
