Over the past 50 years, more than 20,000 natural compounds have been identified in the marine environment, with an increasing focus on marine metabolites as potential sources for developing effective therapeutic agents. The field of marine drug discovery has seen remarkable growth in recent years, with numerous marine-derived therapeutic candidates in various stages of clinical trials or awaiting approval. The ocean is a potential source of natural products with diverse pharmacological properties, including antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory activities. However, commercializing marine natural products has been challenging due to low yields and specificity of specialized (secondary) metabolites. Marine Specialized (Secondary) Metabolites and their Diverse Applications provides a broad overview of marine specialized metabolites and their potential in various industries. With comprehensive coverage, relevance to current trends, interdisciplinary approach, and practical applications, this book includes specific compounds or organisms, with a particular focus on addressing the challenges and limitations associated with them.

Fungi are both the cause of many major health problems and an incredible source of compounds for developing new medicinal treatments, and with the increasing emergence of multidrug resistance, the need for new antimicrobial agents is greater than ever. Antifungal Compounds Discovery provides researchers with a detailed study of both natural and synthetic compounds that can be effective against a variety of fungal species, supporting and encouraging the design of innovative, potent new drug candidates for the treatment of fungal infections. Beginning with an introduction to both the history and latest developments in this field, the book goes on to provide helpful background information on key fungal species before outlining current antifungal therapies and reasons further development is needed. Detailed chapters then follow reviewing a broad range of natural and synthetic antifungal agents, and discussing the synergistic effect of working with both simultaneously. Finally, the book concludes by considering potential future developments in this important field. Supported with detailed schemes and key information on the biological activity of all selected compounds, Antifungal Compounds Discovery is a comprehensive guide helping researchers understand the relationship between specific chemical structures and their antifungal potency, and a key tool for all those involved in the identification and development of antimicrobial compounds.
