Abstract :

Sea is a source of novel organic bioactive molecules that have much importance in medicine, physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry. In the present study, a biologically important active compound which promote angiogenesis ex vivo and in vitro have been isolated from sea urchin, Temnopleurus alexandri. The compound was isolated from hexane crude extract and was tested for its purity with Thin layer chromatography. It was further subjected to Characterization and structure elucidation by IR, NMR, MASS and GC–MS. The compound isolated was penta decanoic acid 14–methyl– methyl ester.
