The chemical and biological profile of the ethanolic extract of Fabronia secunda examined for the first time. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometric analysis of ethanolic extract of Fabronia secunda identified 200 components, which mainly composed of lup-20(29)-ene-3,28-diol (4.01 %), guanosine (3.99 %), and 1,2-benzene-dicarboxylic acid (3.79 %). Also, the chromatographic analysis yielded three compounds, namely stigmasterol (1), β-sitosterol (2) and lupeol (3). The ethanolic extract of Fabronia secunda exhibited superior inhibition of superoxide and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals with an half maximal inhibitory concentration value of 33.5 and 34.5 μg/ml respectively. Additionally, ethanolic extract of Fabronia secunda depicted prominent inhibitory profiles against alpha-glucosidase and pancreatic alpha-amylase with half maximal inhibitory concentration values of 48.5 and 58.0 μg/ml respectively. To conclude, this preliminary chemical analysis provides a piece of evidence to know the metabolism of mosses and the biological investigation proved the therapeutic importance of mosses like Fabronia secunda.
