Seaweeds are marine non-flowering plants commonly referred to as macroalgae. They are one of the commercially important sources and are found to possess the ability to synthesize numerous secondary metabolites such as phenols, terpenes, steroids which have wide applications in the field of medicine. They are also widely utilized in the production of polysaccharides such as carrageenan, fucoidan etc., and have both therapeutic and industrial applications. The Present study was aimed to isolate, purify and determine the applications of secondary metabolites from Seaweed Hypnea cervicornis. In this study two important secondary metabolites such as glycosides and alkaloids were targeted. The presence of these compounds were detected by means of performing thin layer chromatography using specific solvent systems and purified by column chromatography. The purified fractions were then identified by means of Gas chromatography -Mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The compounds were then subjected to application oriented studies such as antimicrobial activity, antioxidant activity and antidiabetic activity. Not much work have been carried out on the isolation of a specific glycoside and alkaloid compound from Seaweed Hypnea cervicornis so this study was an attempt to explore the applications of these individual compounds which could prove beneficial to the mankind for different purposes.
