Molluscs: From Chemo-ecological Study to Biotechnological Application

Marine molluscs are very promising candidates for a wide range of biotechnological applications. For example, they possess analgesic drugs more potent than morphine and very effective anticancer agents. The present book gives an up—to—date overview of the main classes of bioactive compounds from molluscs, moving from ecological observations, to chemical characterization, to biosynthesis, to large—scale synthesis, and to pharmacological applications. A truly outstanding international panel o...
