El Miami Herald da como aprobado a Yondelis en EEUU para Cáncer de Ovario ... sin duda estan en un error ... hablando en presente ... :
THE FDA OK
Although developed in the United States, Yondelis has yet to receive FDA approval for treatment of sarcoma. It is, however, approved for women with relapsed ovarian cancer.
David Newman, chief of the natural products branch at the National Cancer Institute, said to expect more drugs from the sea in the future.
The reason: small marine life with no physical defenses have developed chemical compounds not found on land to help them fend off ocean predators.
``A sponge can't swim. Has no teeth,'' Newman said. ``What does he use for defense? Chemistry. Chemical warfare is a live and well on a coral reef.''
In the pharmaceutical pipeline, many isolated chemical compounds extracted from marine organisms are being researched and tested on rodents and humans.
