Abstract: Medicinal plants have long been recognized as an indispensable source for new leads. In this study, Ambrosia maritima L. (Asteraceae) was subjected to chromatographic (TLC & PTLC) and spectroscopic analysis (UV, IR, GC-MS & NMR) to isolate and elucidate its active constituents. Two promising antitumor leads namely; di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and 13-hexyloxacyclotridec-10-en-2-one, had been, unprecedentedly, isolated and characterized from the Brine shrimp Lethality Assay (BSLA) active dichloromethane extract.
