Abstract
The alkaloids isolated from the stem barks of Desmos longiflorus (Roxb .) Safford were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal proper ties against twenty-nine bacteria and seven fungi. The alkaloidal mixt ure showed good antibacterial properties and moderate antifungal activ ity at a concentration of 100 mug/disc. The minimum inhibitory concent ration (MIC) of the alkaloid xylopine was 50 mug/ml against Vibrio cho lerae and 75 mug/ml against Escherichia coli and Shigella dysenteriae type 5.
