TL;DR: The amino acid and fatty acid contents of two gastropods viz.
Abstract: The amino acid and fatty acid contents of two gastropods viz Tonna dolium and Phalium glaucum were determined
from the Gulf of Mannar The presences of 7 fatty acids were recorded in both species The total fatty acid contents in
T dolium and P glaucum were 763% and 634 % respectively PUFA were the dominant fatty acid group, followed
by SFA in both the species For T dolium, the most abundant fatty acids were, in decreasing order, C18:2ω-6, C18:0,
C18:3ω-3, and C16:0 whereas in P glaucum it were C18:2ω6, C18:3ω-3, C18:0 and C16:0 The total amino acid
(TAA) contents of T dolium and P glaucum were 1907% and 173% respectively Among the TAA contents, the
percentage of EAA and NEAA in T dolium and P glaucum were found to be 996%, 805% and 911%, 925%
respectively Methionine (140%), phenylalanine (131%), isoleucine (120%) and leucine (120%) in T dolium and
isoleucine (124%), methionine (112%) and phenylalanine (106%) in P glaucum were determined as the most
abundant EAA whereas alanine (140%) arginine (134%) and glycine (118%) in T dolium and alanine (115%)
arginine (115%) and glutamic acid (114%) in P glaucum contributed as major non-essential amino acids

TL;DR: The whole body extract of Phalium glaucum with different column chromatographic fractions were assayed for antibacterialactivity using disc diffusion technique against six human pathogenic bacteria to identify compounds responsible for antimicrobial activity.
Abstract: The whole body extract of Phalium glaucum with different column chromatographic fractions were assayed for antibacterialactivity using disc diffusion technique against six human pathogenic bacteria.Among the five column purified extracts F1 and F4 fractions exhibited wide spectrum activities. Highest activity was recorded against S.typhi (12 mm) and S.flexneri(9 mm) of F4 and F1 fractions respectively. Through GC-MS analysis 10 compounds were identified and charecterised. Of the 10 compounds hexanal-2-methyl,1,2-benzene dicarboxylic acid, diisooctyl ester,2,2-dimethyl propionic acid, hexadecyl ester and pseudoephedrine might be responsible for antimicrobial activity.

TL;DR: Glycosaminoglycans was isolated from two marine gastropods such as Babylonia spirata and Phalium glaucum and showed more anticoagulant activity than that of P.glaucum, and FTIR analysis reveals the presence of anticoaggulant substance signals at different ranges.
Abstract: Objectives: Molluscs are highly delicious seafood and they are also very good source for biomedically imported products. Among the molluscs some have pronounced pharmacological activities or other properties which are useful in biomedical area. Methods: In the present study glycosaminoglycans was isolated from two marine gastropods such as Babylonia spirata and Phalium glaucum. Results: The isolated glycosaminoglycans were quantified in crude samples and they were estimated as 8.7 gm/kg & 5.3 gm/kg crude in Babylonia spirata and Phalium glaucum respectively. Both the gastropods showed the anticoagulant activity of the crude samples 134 USP units/mg and 78 USP units/mg correspondingly in B. spirata and P. glaucum. In the agarose gel electrophoresis using acetate buffer, the band of the crude samples studied showed the band with similar mobility to standard heparin sulfate. FTIR analysis reveals the presence of anticoagulant substance signals at different ranges. Conclusion: Among the two gastropods B. spirata showed more anticoagulant activity than that of P. glaucum.
