Abstract
Thalassiosira weissflogiiis a unicellular microalga which was found under marine environment. It was cultivated using Guuillard and Ryther F/2 medium in transparent plastic bottle under continuous light at 20ºC for 5 days. It is then harvested and dried under shade. The dried powdered was then mixed with methanol and used for further analysis. Preliminary phytochemical constituents, primary and secondary metabolites were assessed for methanolic extract of Thalassiosira weissflogii. Pharmacognostic and physiochemical parameters were also detected to confirm the quality of the drug. Phytochemical compound such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins were present but glycosides and saponins were absent. They also yield appreciableamount of primary and secondary metabolites. Based on the pharmacognosy studies, it was found that the drug was pure which can be stored to do further studies. Thus, the methanolic extract of Thalassiosira weissflogii can be used for both in vivo and in vitro studies.
