Eighteen aqueous and two ethanol extracts of herb-medicine used for trichomoniasis therapies in Korea were assessed for their antitrichomonas activities. Two extracts(Sophorae radix, Phellodendri cortex) showed evident antitrichomonas activity at $8mg/m{\ell}$. Two mixture of Sophorae radix and Phellodendri cortex showed low antitrichomonas activity at 15mg/ml. Ethylacetate fraction of Sophorae radix showed the antitrichomonas activity of 400 mg/ml. This indicated that Sophorae radix is potent for a new effective and safe antitrichomonas agent.
