Abstract
Recently drug discovery and development program based on
the sustainable use of marine biodiversity have attracted much
attention, because many scientists believe that its integration with
recent advances in biotechnology not only promises economic
benefits but also promotes the protection and conservation of
marine biodiversity. Some biotechnological innovations have
enabled to generate ecologically and environmentally sound
approaches, which contribute greatly to the sustainable use of
marine biodiversity. This emerging multidiscipline is especially
interesting to be developed in Saudi Arabia as a wide country with
highly diverse marine resources. Therefore here we will deal with
developing a concept about how drug discovery based on marine
natural products can be implemented to promote the sustainable
use, protection and conservation of marine biodiversity as well as
to secure economic benefits. Marine Organisms such as sponges
and corals are broadly known as rich sources of novel and useful
bioactive marine natural products as marine cancer drugs. However,
it is not only elaborate pharmaceutically useful compounds but also
produce a lot of toxic substances.
