Marine microorganisms widely distributed on our oceans of the earth and emerging as the great source for the discovery of natural products. Further they are developing as therapeutic agents for various human diseases. Antibacterial, antifungal, anti-parasitic, antiviral, anti-infective, insecticidal, antitumor, antiinflammatory, antioxidant and herbicidal compounds as well as many other compounds are enzyme inhibitors have been isolating from marine actinomycetes. Marine drugs have been used as therapeutic drug for various diseases like cancer, typhoid, cholera etc, Hymenialdisine (HMD), a sponge-derived natural product reported as human kinase inhibitors with nanomolar activity. Several antitumor antibiotics like aporphine alkaloids have been isolated from marine actinomycetes. Several marine-derived compounds used as anticancer agents are undergoing promising preclinical and clinical development. Therefore, the marinederivedactinomycetes act as a prominent reservoir for novel drug molecules and answer to several diseases.(NagendraSastryYarla, Marine Actinomycetes: A Source of Novel Therapeutic Drugs)
