Marine Bio-Chemical Diversity: Promising Anticancer Groups
| Abstract | This chapter deals with marine biodiversity and its constituents possessing anticancer activity. The different potential groups of marine plants such as microalgae (e.g. cyanobacteria), macroalgae (seaweeds), seagrasses, and mangroves; marine invertebrates viz. sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans, molluscs, and echinoderms; and tunicates among chordates producing anticancer compounds have been identified. The chemical diversity of anticancer compounds representing different chemical classes viz. alkaloids, terpenes, peptides, polyketides, polyphenols, glycosides etc. is also dealt with. |
