- Isolation and structural of chemical constituents of sea slug Aplysia dactylomela.
- Evaluation of cytotoxic activity on three human cancer cell lines: lung cancer (A549), breast cancer (MCF-7) and liver cancer (HepG2). 

- Identification of sea slug Aplysia dactylomela by DNA method. 
- Twelve compounds (AD1-AD12) were isolated from the methanolic extract of sea slug Aplysia dactylomela. Their structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods, including 1D, 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS, and comparison their spectra data with those reported in literture. Among them, seven new compounds were obtained. 
- Evaluation of cytotoxic activity on three human cancer cell lines: lung cancer (A549), breast cancer (MCF-7) and liver cancer (HepG2) from 12 isolated compounds. 

- Seven new compounds were isolated from sea slug Aplysia dactylomela. 
- Seven new compounds were tested for cytotoxicity on three human cancer cell lines: lung cancer (A549), breast cancer (MCF-7) and liver cancer (HepG2). Of these, compound AD9 showed strong cytotoxic activity on the A549 cell line with an IC50 value of 8.15 μM.
