Marine Natural Products and Related Compounds as Anticancer Agents: an Overview of their Clinical Status

Abstract: Marine ecosystems constitute a huge reservoir of biologically active secondary metabolites. Consequently during the last past few decades, several marine-derived molecules have been approved for anticancer treatment or are under clinical trials. This review reports the present state of the art of the sixteen molecules approved or currently on the clinical pipeline for anticancer chemotherapy. The molecules are classified according to their current status in the phase (approved / phase IV / phase III / phase II… Show more

“…Therefore, there is an urgent need to discover lead compounds for development of novel anti-glioma drugs. Marine-derived natural products are important sources for discovery of new anticancer drug leads (Newman and Cragg, 2014;Petit and Biard, 2013;Schumacher et al, 2011).…”

“…From this perspective, there are two papers, one in this journal in 2010 [97], and a very recent and truly comprehensive compilation of clinical trials of a large number of marine-related drugs and drug candidates [98], that could be considered to have partially covered the topic from a marine source perspective. In these two papers, however, a significant number of the agents discussed are no longer in clinical trials.…”

“…Apart from this, it also disrupts the vasculature by depolymerizing tubulin in Human umbilical vein endothelial cells and is more potent than colchicine or vincristine [72]. It has been tested at Phase I and II randomized trials comparing docetaxel to plinabulin plus docetaxel in patients with advanced Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have failed an initial therapy, and the combination has demonstrated marked antitumour activity along with an acceptable safety profile [73].…”
