Starfish have been the research topic in many pharmacological and chemical pharmacological laboratories due to their complex secondary metabolites and types of bioactivities. The starfishes were shown to contain the bioactive compounds which exhibit various activities including antiinflammatory, cytotoxicity, hemolytic, antiviral and antibacterial effects. Starfish are also considered as an extremely rich source of biological active compounds, including saponin. However, very few studies were performed to analyze the biological properties of starfish and the bioactive compounds. In this study an attempt was made to analyze the bioactive compounds from the solvent extract of star fish. The compounds such as, N-Allyl-N,N-dimethylamine, 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, 2, 3-dihydroxypropyl ester, 3-Octadecene, (E) –, 1-Hexanamine, N-ethyl-, 5-Tetradecanol acetate, 1H-Indole, 5-methyl-2-phenyl-, Pyridjpyrimidine, 4-phenyl- Pyridjpyrimidine, 4-phenyl-, 2-Ethylacridine, Docosanoic acid, Benzene, 2-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl) oxy]-1-isopropyl-4-methyl- and Cyclotrisiloxane, hexamethyl- were identified. These compounds may have potent activity against various diseases.
