Therapeutic Role of Bioactive Compounds from NonConventional Marine Sources: A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The marine ecosystem acts as a reservoir of bioactive compounds with immense use in treatment of many diseases hence acting as potent biopharmaceuticals. The natural as well as the synthetic modified form of these compounds serve as a reservoir of numerous therapeutic agents. Recent progress in drug discovery from marine sources has resulted in development of drugs capable of treating cancer along with various other disorders and diseases. Advancement in available technology has led to higher exploration of marine resource like sponges, corals, etc. and leading to their implication in biopharmaceutical markets. Starting from vital primary metabolites like vitamins, amino acids, etc., to secondary metabolites, these bioactive compounds play an immense role in life saving compounds development. Hence this review is focused on the bioactive compounds collection from sponges and other marine organisms finally leading to their role in cancer treatment as well as in many life threatening bacterial and viral infections.
