Produktbeschreibung

Marine pharmacognosy is a dynamic field that has been systematically investigated over the last 50 years. The potential of the field is shown by the number of publications and patents that are increasing every year. This book presents the latest comprehensive studies of marine-derived medicinal substances for biological, medical, and industrial applications. Marine flora and fauna has been the source of molecules used as pharmaceuticals, cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals, molecular probes, fine chemicals, and agrochemicals. Bringing together a global team of experts, this book provides a current snapshot of the importance of marine products in health formulation.
