Objective:To investigate the antimalarial and larvicidal activities of seaweeds against Plasmodium falciparum strain andAnopheles stephensi mosquito larva. Methods: The three different seaweeds,Jania rubens,Turbinaria ornata (T. ornata) and Ulva fasciata were collected from Southeast India. The seaweeds were extracted using hexane and ethyl acetate solvents and evaluated for their mosquito-larvicidal and antiplasmodial property. The bioactive compounds of the seaweed extract were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results:The hexane extract ofT. ornata (HTO) has shown significant inhibitory effects at the IC50 value 22.98 μg/mL, when compared to the positive control, chloroquine (12.32 μg/mL). The larvicidal activity of HTO on the fourth instar larvae of Anopheles stephensi was found to be effective with the LC50 and LC90 values (μg/mL) of 1.38 and 3.34. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis ofHTO revealed the presence of alkenes, aromatics, amides and amines groups, whereas in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, 11 different bioactive components were recorded. The bioactive component, hentriacontane in the HTO might be responsible for the recorded antiplasmodial and larvicidal activities. Conclusions:The finding of the present study reveals that the constituents of T. ornata have new sources of antimalarial and larvicidal agents in future.
