- Abstract
Disease aliments are changing the patterns, and the new diseases are emerging due to changing Environment. The rapid growth of world population has overburdened the existing resources for the drug. Marine Pharmacology is a branch of Pharmaceutical Science which focuses on the substances with active Pharmacological properties present in Marine species of plants and animals. The first biologically active Marine natural product was formally reported in late 1950 by Bergmann in late 1970, it was established that Marine plants and animals are genetically and biochemically unique. Around 15000 such unique natural compounds have been described and out of them 30% products have been isolated from sponges. Marine Environment is an exceptional store house of novel bioactive natural products, with structural and chemical features generally not found in terrestrial natural product. Thus ecological resources comprising a variety of aquatic plants and animals these aquatic organism are screened for antibacterial, immunomudulator, Antifungal, Antinflammatory, Anticancer, Antimicrobial, neuroprotective, analgesic and Antimalarial properties. The drugs Manufacture are always on the lookout for new resources to develop effective and safe drug for the increasing demand of the world population. Marine Environment represent countless and diverse resource for new drug to combat major disease such as Cancer or Malaria.
