A brief review of potent anti-CNS tumourics from marine sponges: covering the period from 1994 to 2014

Boris Pejin et al. Nat Prod Res. 2018 Feb.

Abstract

This review covers the 1994-2014 literature data published for anti-CNS tumour natural products isolated from marine sponges. The focus was on highly potent antitumourics. It describes only eight promising bioactives (screened on even less number of the respective cell lines) suggesting that brain tumours actually represent quite a hot topic for the natural product research community worldwide.

Keywords: Porifera; brain tumours; natural products; new leads.
