Abstract
Marine terpenes, found in aquatic flora and fauna including algae, bacteria, sponges, fungi, seaweeds, corals, diatoms, ascidians, etc., are a significant source of bioactive substances with potential anticancer properties. These terpenes have exhibited various biological properties such as antioxidant, antibacterial, and antitumor effects. In the recent past, numerous marine anticancer compounds have been isolated, characterized, identified, and are under trial for human use. This chapter compiles information about marine-derived terpenes with anticancer activities from diverse flora and fauna, their underlying mechanisms, and the increasing interest in these compounds for the treatment of malignant growth over the past several years.
