Diverse and abundant, marine-derived bioactive compounds offer a
plethora of pharmacologically active agents with the potential to
produce valuable therapeutic entities. Marine-derived organisms,
including some macroalgae, microalgae, blue-green algae,
invertebrates, and vertebrates-valued in traditional Chinese
medicine since ancient times-are now recognized as rich sources of
pharmaceutically active compounds. These factors, coupled with the
growing need for novel bioactives for the treatment of severe human
diseases such as cancer, diabetes, microbial infections, and
inflammatory processes, has brought marine pharmaceuticals to the
forefront of pharmacology. Marine Pharmacognosy: Trends and
Applications provides a comprehensive account of marine-derived
bioactive pharmaceuticals and their potential health benefits,
including antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, anticoagulant,
antidiabetic, antiallergy, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive,
antibacterial, and radioprotective activities. Moreover, it
discusses the sources, isolation and purification, chemistry,
functionality interactions, applications, and industrial features
of a variety of marine-derived pharmaceuticals. Marine
pharmacognosy is a dynamic field that has been systematically
investigated over the last 50 years, and the number of publications
and patents are increasing every year. Bringing together a global
team of experts, Marine Pharmacognosy: Trends and Applications
reviews current research on marine-derived bioactive compounds and
provides insight into future research on their potential as
pharmacologically active agents.
