Abstract

The present study aims to identify the bioactive potential of the extracts of Euchleus asper collected from the west coast of India Mumbai (Coast). The technique used was Disc diffusion technique to test the bioactive potential of gastropods against microbes. GC-MS and NMR spectroscopy was carried out to characterize and structurally analyze the bioactive compounds. The crude extract of E. asper in methanolic extract showed a maximum zone of inhibition against fish pathogens and human pathogens. The minimum zone of inhibition in ethyl acetate extract was recorded against human pathogens. The present study reveals that intertidal gastropod E. asper has bio potential activity in terms of antibacterial which needs to be explored.
