The health care industry is continually developing, and with it, the interest for effective treatments to combat a great many ailments. Among the most sought-after arrangements are antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory agents. These compounds hold the way to handling infectious diseases, relieving oxidative pressure, and reducing inflammation- all significant contributors of human suffering and disease. Amongst this, oxidative stress, brought about by an imbalance between free radicals and anti- oxidants, plays a role in various sicknesses, including cancer, heart diseases, and neuro-degenerative issues. The interest for anti-oxidant is rising as their capability to relieve these circumstances turns out to be progressively apparent. On the other hand, inflammation is a natural immune response, yet ongoing irritation can add to diseases like joint pain, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer. Also the search for new antimicrobial is always going to a burning issue in existence of multiple drug resistance. As a nature prescribe solution  for scavenging above therapeutic molecules, Pithophora oedogonia, a filamentous green alga regularly known as a weed alga, has been the subject of expanding interest. The current article tries to delve further into the therapeutic capability of these neglected aquatic algae. The study likewise aims to elucidate the connection between the anti-oxidant capacity and the anti-inflammatory capability of the algal extract, giving a thorough comprehension of the medicinal uses of this underexplored resource. When exploited for anti microbial activity the gram negative bacteria viz E.coli and Pseudomonas Sp. shows promising results. The reducing power of the green algae being investigated when determined found to be 0.27 ± 0.08 mg/g AAE. The anti-inflammatory activity displayed by the algal extract was 38.94%. This proposes that Pithophora oedogonia has putative antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory property barring molecules proposing it as a promising candidate for further research.
