A total of 80 lipophilic and hydrophilic extracts obtained from 20 samples of cultured freshwater and terrestrial cyanobacteria were investigated for their biological activities. Of all the extracts, 26% exhibited a significant lethal effect against brine shrimp. Out of 54 extracts tested for antimicrobial activity, 78% showed antibacterial and 45% antifungal activities. Of 30 extracts tested for cytotoxicity against KB cells, none was found to be active. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the lipophilic extracts of Fischerella ambigua led to the isolation of three compounds; ambigols A 1. and B 2. and tjipanazole D 3. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic, molluscicidal, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral activities. Tjipanazole D 3 showed moderate antibacterial properties.
