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 topic describes the anticancer metabolites of the components of marine
shellfish such as crustaceasn (shrimp, lobsters, crayfish, and crabs), marine molluscs
viz. bivalves (clams, oysters, etc), gastropods (snails, slugs, etc.) and cephalopods
(squids, octopuses, and cuttlefish). Among the bioactive compounds of marine
molluscs, the anti-proliferative and cytotoxic compounds accounted for 12 and 36%.
Among echinoderms, the asteroids (starfish), echinoids (sea urchins) and holothuroids
(sea cucumbers) are found to be pharmaceutically important. Among the bioactive
metabolites of echinoderms, the cytotoxic or anti-proliferative metabolites accounted
for 38%.
