Abstract: Ancistrocladus tectorius was extracted with ethyl alcohol( Et OH),and the active constituents of the Et OH and their biological activities against malaria were determined. Mice infected with Plasmodium berghei were treated with the Et OH extract,and its cytotoxic activity was assayed by the MTT method. The antimicrobial activities of the Et OH extract were tested by the paper disk diffusion method,and its acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity was detected by using the Ellman’s colorimetric method. The results indicated that the Et OH extract of A.tectorius inhibited the growth of malaria parasites and improved the survival rate of the mice infected with P.berghei. It also possessed inhibitory activity against K562,SGC-7721 and BEL-7402 cell lines,as well as human and agricultural pathogens. Moreover,it showed lower inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase than Tacrine.
