Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

This chapter deals with the approved drugs sourced from marine biota, the pathophysiology of cancer, the anticancer potential of marine organisms, the most promising marine biota-derived anticancer compounds for the different types of human and cancer, biogeography of marine invertebrate species yielding anti cancer compounds, major constraints in the development of anticancer drugs and the remedial measures.
