In the present study, biofoulant ascidian, Polyclinum madrasensis was collected from the pearl oyster cages of Tuticorin coast. The protein content was showed 790 __ampersandsignmu;g/ mL of crude extract and molecular weight determination using SDS page indicated well defined bands ranging from 21 to 90 kDa. The methanol and 1:1 Methanol/ Dichloromethane&#13;
extracts exhibited strong hemolytic activity on chicken, goat, cow and human erythrocytes (O, A, B and AB groups). The methanolic extract the highest cytotoxicity in brine shrimp (LC50 = 97 __ampersandsignmu;g/mL). Different polar and non polar solvent extracts were assayed for antibacterial activity against ten human pathogens. The crude compound was characterized by 1H NMR and results represented.&#13;
