Abstract: | This review article presents the traditional and medicinal uses, and examines recent investigations on the biological activities
of extracts, and chemicals identified from mangroves and mangal associates. Metabolites identified from mangrove plants are
classified according to ‘chemical classes’, and some of their structures are illustrated. The article also presents some of
the functions of the chemicals present and attempt to emphasize and create an awareness of the great of potential mangroves
and mangal associates possess as a source of novel agrochemicals, compounds of medicinal value, and a new source of many already
known biologically active compounds.
