Abstract/Summary Marine invertebrates and a growing number of marine actinomycetes are the sources of novel, bioactive secondary metabolites. This review is presented as a short survey of recent investigations in the marine pharmacology and discovery of new anticancer drugs. The implications of this research towards the development of marine secondary metabolites as a sustainable source of new drugs are discussed.
