Marine Pharmacology Research Handbook

To meet the growing demand of the pharmaceutical industry for novel chemicals for drug development, researchers are looking to marine resources for novel bioactive natural products. The ocean is rich in bioactive secondary metabolites that have attracted the attention of many scientists around the world. The book "Handbook of Marine Drug Research: Exploring the Impact of Marine Microbial Diversity on Human Health" introduces a series of novel antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer chemicals discovered from the ocean, as well as their potential applications in drugs for eradicating and treating diseases, and covers the application of marine polysaccharides, marine biopolymers, algae, and macroalgae in new drug development.

The authors explore the development of cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals from the ocean, as well as the medicinal properties of cyanobacteria in drug delivery and new drug development. This book details the chemical properties that help determine new uses for marine natural products in new drugs and is well suited as a resource for researchers in the fields of pharmacy, microbiology, biotechnology, and molecular biosciences.
