Results and discussionThe best among the bioactive compounds, are characterised for their AbstractOver 70% of Earth's surface is covered with sea/salty water. World's oldest, most revered and holiest texts, the Vedas, term the Ocean as 'Ratnakar', or the bestower of immense riches. From times immemorial the oceans/seas have been a source of inspiration, awe & adventure for Humankind. Modern science for the first time in the nineteen fifties discovered for the first time, potent bioactive, chemical compounds from marine organisms. Today, several potent cytotoxic and anticancer drug leads, from secondary metabolites biosynthesized in Marine invertebrates, have been identified. In order to tide over the problem of supply, even artificial culture of Marine organisms is being attempted. Such vital aspects are discussed herewith.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
