Abstract

Natural products have historically served as a valuable reservoir of compounds, demonstrating a wide array of structural and chemical characteristics pertinent to drug discovery. These natural products have been classified according to their chemical makeup, with emphasis placed on their origins and biological activities. The development of antimicrobial resistance in microorganisms can be attributed to a myriad of factors, including alterations in cellular membrane permeability, upregulation of drug efflux mechanisms, and enzymatic modification or deactivation of antibiotics and the aim of this chapter is to ascertain that various diseases can be treated through the utilization of marine products, owing to their antimicrobial properties. The objective of this chapter is to assert that the utilization of marine resources can lead to the treatment of various diseases due to their antimicrobial properties. Despite being at a preclinical stage, the evidence showing their effectiveness in vivo indicates the importance of exploring novel pharmaceuticals derived from the marine environment.
