A wide variety of bioactive secondary metabolites that seaweeds are claimed to generate can be used by the pharmaceutical industry to create novel medications. The primary goal of the current study was to use the HR-LCMS and NMR approach to analyse the phytochemical content of a methanolic extract of Gracilaria edulis. The HR-LCMS and NMR analysis reveals the presence of bioactive compounds (amino acid, fatty acid, triterpenoids, carotenoid, aromatic compounds, flavonoids, secondary alcohols, diterpenes, lipid, phenolic compounds, sesquiterpenoids, quinolizidine alkaloid, and benzoquinone). The present study's findings support the existence of significant phytocompounds in G. edulis and are useful for future in-depth investigation to create medications from marine algae to treat a variety of ailments. The goal of current research is to discover all-natural treatments for a wide variety of illnesses and conditions.
