Download or read book Fine Chemicals from Natural Sources with Potential Application in the Cosmetic Pharmaceutical Industry written by Agnieszka Feliczak-Guzik and published by . This book was released on 2024-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is beyond any doubt that chemistry has provided countless products which have improved the quality of human life in practically all areas. Unfortunately, some of the products have proven to be hard to dispose of, being non-biodegradable or toxic. Recently, much care has been taken to ensure that chemical products should be first of all safe for humans. According to one of the approaches, the cosmetic/pharmaceutical products used should be based on natural raw materials. With the use of physical, chemical, and biochemical processes, these raw materials can be transformed into intermediates that are later used to produce high-value chemicals, polymers, lubricants, solvents or surfactants, and special products, which, until now, have been obtained using fossil fuels.

Download or read book Drugs from the Sea written by Nobuhiro Fusetani and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book consists of three parts: discovery, development and production of drugs from marine organisms. Marine bacteria, fungi, microalgae, sponges and opisthobranch mollusks have attracted much attention as sources of potential drugs, which is described in the first part. A pain-killing drug developed from the venom of a cone shell is a recent highlight of marine natural product research; the interesting story of its discovery is provided. The second part features an anticancer drug with a novel mode of action which was originally isolated from a songe and a potential antiosteoporotic drug of a hexacoral origin. But the most serious problem for development of drugs from the sea remains supply. Two possible solutions, production by fermentation and by aquaculture, are described in the third part. Identification and culture of symbiotic bacteria which are responsible for the production of bioactive sponge metabolites are the main objectives for many researchers.
