Abstract: The sponge Sigmadocia fibulata (Schmidt) was collected during low tides from West Coast of Mumbai. Crude extract was obtained by taking 10 gram of sponge samples in10 ml of methanol. The preparative TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography) was performed by using Toluene: Ethyl acetate: Diethylamine (7:2:1) (v/v). The isolated compounds were subjected to GC-MS and FTIR analysis. The structural properties of bio active compounds were determined.From the structural determination it was confirmed that S. fibulata contains bioactive compounds as Triacontanoic acid, methyl ester – (Skin irritant), Hexadecanoic acid, 2- hydroxyl- (hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester – (Fatty acid, Metabolite and Irritant) and 2-Nitro-1, 3-bis-oclyoxy-benzene, (A natural product found in Neolitsea daibuensis. It has a role as a plant metabolite and an algal metabolite). From their biological properties it was confirmed that S. fibulata contains bio active compound, which has biomedical and pharmaceutical properties.
