Abstract

Ascidians is a rich source of bioactive secondary metabolites. Phallusia nigra, a simple ascidian belonging to the family Ascidiidae  found in plenty throughout the year along the Tuticorin coast of India. The methanolic extract of  Phallusia nigra was subjected to GC-MS analysis to determine the possible bioactive components. The analysis revealed the presence of eleven chemical constituents of which the major are: Methyl 3-bromo-1-adamantaneacetate (24.65%), n-Hexadecanoic acid (24.45%), 11-Hexadecen-1-ol,(Z)- (17.64%)  and 2,6-Dimethyl-6-trifluoroacetoxyoctane (9.82%).
