Marine Pharmacology: A Promising Hand for New Drug Development

Abstract

Lots of work is going on to develop new drugs for human kind. Earlier our researches were mainly based on natural organic compound. Later we shifted our focus towards synthetic organic compound. Unfortunately synthetic drugs causing side effects. With change in our lifestyle we face new challenge in medical science which can be resolve by natural resources obtained from terrestrial and marine organism. Over thousands of new drugs launched in last decades originating from marine microbes, plants as well as animals. Now marine drugs either directly or indirectly play a vital role in pharmacology. Hence, this review provides baseline information of new discoveries in marine pharmacology and highlights the topics required attention.
