The relatively unexplored marine environment is a rich resource of novel bioactive candidates that may be beneficial for human beings. Since the marine environment is complex in nature, living organisms produce secondary metabolites with unique biological properties that could find applications in health care systems. This chapter gives an overview of marine-based anticancer drugs that are FDAapproved and bioactive components that are under preclinical and clinical trials. It also provides insight into marine-based nutraceuticals, their sources, and their usefulness for various human health concerns. Therefore, exploring the marine environment through collaborative research work both by academia and industries could lead to significant contributions to humanity.
