“Moneuplotes
crassus” is a benthic group of sedimented marine ciliates. These
hypotrichous groups always in intertidal zone of marine coastal area,
particularly in abundant in Gulf of Mannar coast areas, India. They are more
potential to produce secondary metabolites. The body length is 80 to 100 micron
in size. Dorso-ventally flatted structure. Its motility by cirri like cilia.
They were cultured and extracted by advanced centrifugation process. The
isolated compound is liquid alkaloid nature. The compound isolated by HPLC
techniques. This extract treated with inflammatory activity carrageenan induced
paw edema in albino rats. From this experimental study, the researcher has
confirmed that the Euplotes of certain hypotrichs have the properties of
antiflammatory activities.
