Abstract
This chapter deals with the promising marine bioactive compounds of
marine plants such as, seaweeds, seagrasses, mangroves, and halophytes; and their
chemistry and therapeutic applications. Among the different constituents, the seaweeds
in general and brown and red algae exhibited a variety of bioactivities followed by
mangroves, seagrasses, and halophytes in that order.
Keywords: Halophytes chemical classes of bioactive compounds, Marine plants, Mangroves, Pharmaceutical marine biodiversity, Seaweeds, Seagrasses, Therapeutic activities.
