Abstract
New Trends in Marine Natural Products
Highlights
Public interest in substances with marine origin is very recent in comparison to that of terrestrial plants that dates back to our origins as nomadic hunter-gatherers
Research on marine natural substances unfolds under three different periods, each of which brings its significant contribution to knowledge and human welfare
Several discoveries by isolated pioneers have landmarked the early 20th century, e.g. the discoveries of squalene, of astaxanthine and of Tyrian purple. It was the publication in 1973 by Paul J. Scheuer of his historical textbook [1] that set off marine natural products as a scientific field in its own right
Summary
Public interest in substances with marine origin is very recent in comparison to that of terrestrial plants that dates back to our origins as nomadic hunter-gatherers. Research on marine natural substances unfolds under three different periods, each of which brings its significant contribution to knowledge and human welfare.
