PhD THESIS
Thesis Title: Chemical and Biological Studies on Some Indian Marine Flora
Research Guide: Dr. U.V Mallavadhani, HOD and Senior Principal Scientist (Retd.), NPC Division, CSIRIICT, Hyderabad, India.
Summary: The work includes extraction, isolation and identification of secondary metabolites and
chemical modification of major metabolites from marine flora to synthesize a range of diverse New
Chemical Entities (NCEs). Isolated metabolites and synthesized compounds were evaluated for their
pharmacological potential to identify bioactive lead molecules.
