Popis: The Red Sea is a rich ecosystem with thousands of species containing a variety of bioactive compounds that have potential pharmacological applications. This study will highlight the potential importance of sea urchins and jellyfish extracts. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) revealed many phenolic compounds in the extracts of the sea urchin (Diadema savignyi) and jellyfish (Aurelia aurita). The extracts were also tested for their potential radical scavenging activity as well as their safety and toxicity in vitro and in vivo. Both extracts showed significant total antioxidant capacity (P-value
