The study aims to evaluate the nootropic and antibacterial capacity of methanolic of Piper trioicum Roxb. The antibacterial capacity of the extracts of Piper trioicum Roxb plant was estimated on gram positive and negative bacteria along withthe determination of the nootropic activity in these extracts using Wistar albino rats. The animals exposed to Scopolamine and treated with Piper trioicum Roxb extract (200 and 400 mg/kg) showed significantly (P<0.05 and P<0.01) decreasing in transfer latency as compared to the negative control. Antibacterial activity of methanolic extract of Piper trioicum Roxb was more effective in Escherichia coli than other bacteria, but there was no effect on Proteus mirabilis.
