The roots, stems and leaves of &lt;em&gt;Oxalis pes-caprae&lt;/em&gt; have high medicinal values and have the function of antiinflammatory and analgesia, clearing heat, removing toxicity. In present study &lt;em&gt;Oxalis pescaprae&lt;/em&gt; belonging to family oxalidaceae evaluated for pharmacological activities like cytotoxicity, phtotoxicity, antibacterial and antifungal bioassays. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Cytotoxic activity was performed by brine shrimp bioassay using methodology of Atta- ur- Rahman &lt;em&gt;et al&lt;/em&gt;., 2001. The phytotoxic activity was investigated by applying &lt;em&gt;Lamna minor&lt;/em&gt; (as test species) following Atta-ur-Rahman &lt;em&gt;et al&lt;/em&gt;., 2001. Anti-bacterial screening was conducted following Rathan (2000). Anti-fungal screening was carried out using agar well diffusion method following Perez &lt;em&gt;et al.&lt;/em&gt; (1990) and Atta-ur-Rahman &lt;em&gt;et al&lt;/em&gt;. (1991). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Its ethanolic extract showed highly significant (100%) cytotoxicity with LD&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 8.98 at 1000 ppm. &lt;em&gt;Lemna minor&lt;/em&gt; phytotoxicity assay showed that &lt;em&gt;O. pes-caprae&lt;/em&gt; chloroform extract showed 90% inhibition at 1000 ppm with FI&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 0.1048. Antibacterial bioassays showed that all the samples of the plant were significant against &lt;em&gt;Xanthomonas, Clavibacter machengnitis&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Bacillus&lt;/em&gt; at 1000, 1500 and 2500 ppm doses. Dose dependent antifungal activities against test species (&lt;em&gt;Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium &lt;/em&gt;and&lt;em&gt; Fusarium solani&lt;/em&gt;) were noticed for all the extracts at 100 and 1000 ppm. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Pharmacological potentials showed that this plant can be used in upcoming time for extracting numerous active constituents for their pharmacological preparations.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">705</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Syeda Naila*, Muhammad Ibrar &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
