درباره این کتاب:
The ocean is a source of unique
natural products, mainly accumulated in
living organisms. The c.4000 species of
tunicates or sea squirts
(Phylum, Chordata; Subphylum, Urochordata)
are a high-potential yet under-studied
source of bioactive compounds for
pharmaceuticals. The secondary metabolites
such as alkaloids isolated from these
organisms have led to the discovery of an
approved anti-tumor drug, anti-cancer
drugs Yondelis® and Aplidin®, as well as
many others in clinical trial.
There is an urgent need for more research
on the bioactive compounds of marine
tunicates and better knowledge about the
identification and biology of these
species. This is the first focused book to
meet this need. The taxonomy, common name,
global distribution, habitat, diagnostic
features and pharmaceutical compounds
(along with their activities) of 165 key
species of tunicates are given, with
high-quality illustrations.
Contributed by scientists of both Marine
Biology and Pharmacy disciplines, this
book will serve as a standard reference
for researchers, teachers and students of
Fisheries Science, Marine Biology, Life
Sciences, Biotechnology, Natural Products,
and Pharmacy, and as a valuable guide for
pharmaceutical companies involved in the
development of new drugs from marine
organisms.
