Seaweeds are marine macroscopic algae which form an important component of marine living organisms. In recent years, the secondary metabolites (phytochemicals) have been extensively investigated as a source of medicinal agents. Sargassum wightii growing in tropical and sub tropical regions have been known for a wide range of biological activities. The aim of the present study was to perform the phytochemical analysis of secondary metabolites both qualitatively and quantitatively of the three different extracts of Sargassum wightii. The preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, steroids, tannins, flavonoids, proteins and phenolic compounds and saponins was found to be absent. Among the three different extracts, methanol extract showed the presence of maximum number (7) of compounds. The estimation of total phenolics, tannins and flavonoids were observed in different extracts of Sargassum Wightii. The results indicated that the maximum phenolic content (2.74±0.17 mg GAE/g dry wt) and tannin content (2.65±0.43 mg CAE/g dry wt) was recorded in the methanol extract of brown alga S. wightii. The maximum flavonoids content (1.97±0.03 mg RUE/g dry wt) was recorded in the red chloroform extract.
