In response to the pharmaceutical industry’s growing need for new chemicals for drug development, researchers are looking at marine sources for novel bioactive natural products. Oceans are packed with bioactive secondary metabolites, drawing the attention of many scientists across the globe.This new book, Handbook of Research in Marine Pharmaceutics: Exploring Oceanic Microbial Diversity for Human Health and Wellness, presents a range of novel antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer chemicals identified from marine sources, along with their potential applications in drugs for the eradication and treatment of diseases. The book covers topics such as the use of marine polysaccharides, marine biopolymers, algae and macroalgae, etc., in new drug development. The authors explore the development of cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals from the sea as well as the medicinal qualities of cyanobacteria in drug delivery and new drug development. The volume provides an important resource that details the chemical characteristics that are helpful in identifying new uses of marine natural products for new drugs.Key features: Provides an informative analysis of the global marine-derived drug industry and market Presents the chemical characteristics that are helpful in identifying new uses of marine natural products for new drugs. Discusses recent advances in extraction and separation methods of marine natural products for drug discovery Reviews marine therapeutics with special attention to anti-cancer, antiviral, antimalarial, and anti-HIV traits With its wealth of information, this book is ideal as a resource for researchers involved in the field of pharmaceutical sciences, microbiology, biotechnology, and molecular biosciences. It will also be helpful to academicians and research students in colleges, research laboratories, industries, and universities.
