J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2014 Jan;16(1):105-22. doi: 10.1080/10286020.2013.855202. Epub 2013 Nov 11.

Abstract

In the search for novel and bioactive molecules for drug discovery, marine-derived natural resources, especially marine microorganisms are becoming an important and interesting research area. This study covers the literature published after 2008 on secondary metabolites of marine-derived microorganisms. The emphasis was on new compounds with the relevant biological activities, strain information, and country of origin. New compounds without biological activity were not included.
