| Description |
The tropical marine habitats are rich sources of biological and chemical diversity. In the marine environment, the bioactive compounds, medicines, drugs, marine natural products are produced as secondary or non-primary metabolites. Natural products chemists considered them as sources of new and unusual organic substances. Synthetic chemists targeted these structures for development of new analogues. Pharmacologists considered this for treatment of humanlagricultural diseases and pests. Hence marine organisms are targeted for developing new medicines. |
