Soft corals of the genus Lobophytum, a marine invertebrate, have shown diverse biological
activities as antiinflammatory, cytotoxic, and antibacterial. Our research is concerning with
biological screening and discovering bioactive substances from the Red Sea soft coral
Lobophytum pauciflorum. In vitro cyclooxygenase inhibitory activity using COX-1 and COX-2
kits and antimicrobial screening were carried out for n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl
acetate and methanol fractions. The isolated compounds were elucidated using different …
