The structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of NMR spectral analysis as well as comparison with available data in the literature. All extracts and the three pure compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity. The compounds showed moderate activity against &lt;em&gt;Bacillus subtilis, Stapylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Candida albicans. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;Sansevieria hyacinthoides; &lt;/em&gt;Antimicrobial activity; Infectious diseases; Flavonoid; Steriods&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;DOI: &lt;a href=&quot;http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjsir.v46i3.9038&quot;&gt;http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjsir.v46i3.9038&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;BJSIR &lt;/em&gt;2011; 46(3): 329-332&lt;/p&gt;}, number={3}, journal={Bangladesh Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research}, author={Sultana, N and Rahman, MM and Ahmed, S and Akter, S and Haque, MM and Parveen, S and Moeiz, SMI}, year={2011}, month={Nov.}, pages={329–332} }
