Abstract: For the present study, Anodendron paniculatum plants were collected from higher altitudes of Eastern Ghats, Araku, Andhra Pradesh India. Highest yields of chemical constituents like alkaloids, terpinoids, phenols and flavonoid were obtained in methanolic extracts. Among them terpinoids were recorded in high amounts ((41.19+1.33 mg limalool/g)). Of the four different extracts of A. paniculatum tested for antimicrobial activity, Methanolic extracts showed maximum antimicrobial activity for the test organisms. Methanolic extracts were proved to have high antimicrobial activity against Vibrio cholera when compared to positive control.
