“…Recent studies also reported three species of seagrasses, among which Halophila stipulacea and Halodule uninervis are the most common. In contrast, Haplophila ovalis is relatively rare in the Qatari marine zone, specifically on the eastern coastline (Abdelbary and Al Ashwal, 2021). Interestingly, seagrass beds are the breeding grounds and essential food source for many marine species like estuarine fish, waterfowls, sea turtles, and invertebrates (Basson et al, 1977;Bell and Pollard, 1989;Hook et al, 1988).…”

Seagrasses are marine angiosperms that inhabit tropical and subtropical regions around the world. They play a vital role in marine biodiversity and the ecosystem by providing habitats and food for several marine organisms, stabilizing sediments, and improving water quality. Halodule uninervis from the family Cymodoceaceae has been used in traditional folk medicine for the treatment of many ailments. Additionally, several identified bioactive metabolites have been shown to contribute to its pharmacological activities, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. As such, H. uninervis could contribute to the development of novel drugs for various diseases. This review aims to compile the phytochemical composition and pharmacological activities of H. uninervis. Furthermore, details about its botanical characteristics and ecological significance are also discussed. By providing valuable insights into the role of H. uninervis in both the marine ecosystem and biomedicine, this review helps to highlight its potential as a therapeutic agent for future drug discovery and development.
