Three known compounds including, uracil (1), 5-methyl (2) and uridine (3) have been isolated from the soft coral Litophyton arboreum collected red sea. The were identified using spectroscopic techniques predominately 1H-NMR 13C-NMR analyses, in addition to HR-ESI-MS. Moreover, 1-3 vitro estimated for their cytotoxic activity against three human cancer cell lines (A549, MCF-7 HepG2), antileishmanial potential Leishmania major.
