Marine Derived Drugs
Most marine-derived compounds possess a few defining characteristics. First, often very low doses are given to patients, and they are administered almost exclusively via intravenous infusion (i.v.). The compounds are typically large molecules, especially the depsipeptides, and they are often hydrophobic. These attributes make them fascinating compounds in terms of pharmacokinetics but also from a bioanalytical point of view.
