The roots of Homonoia riparia Lour. (Local name- Kyauk- kant- nanthar) were selected for this research. Phytochemical screening of the crude extracts was done by means of standard method. The sample consists of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, terpenes, glycosides, reducing sugars, polyphenols, saponins and phenolic compounds respectively. Some organic compounds (1- 5) could be isolated from the roots of Homonoia riparia using column chromatography. Finally, the functional groups of the isolated compounds were determined by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT- IR) spectroscopy.
