Drisya M. K.* and Nowfa Firoskhan
ABSTRACT
Marine Pharmacognosy is the study of bioactive compounds derived from marine organisms and their potential applications in medicine, biotechnology and related fields. It focuses on exploring the chemical diversity of marine ecosystems, including microorganisms, algae, sponges and marine invertebrates, to discover novel natural products with therapeutic properties. This field also investigates the ecological roles of these metabolites, such as defense mechanism or signaling molecules, to better understand their potential applications. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive analysis and synthesis of the current state of knowledge in this field.
Keywords: Marine pharmacognosy, bioactive compounds, marine drugs, challenges.
