Roots and rhizomes of Antigonon leptopus Hook, family Polygonaceae were extracted with hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol. The crude extract fractions hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol (A, B, C) of the plant Antigonon leptopus Hook found to contain triterpenoids, flavonoids and tannins. Antigonon leptopus investigated for its preliminary phytochemical and antimicrobial activity. The extracts showed significant antibacterial and antifungal activity against all the microorganisms tested and the effect so produced was compared with the standard drugs penicillin and nystatin. However, methanol extract was found to be most effective against all the organisms.
