Abstract :
Marine natural products have proven, over the last half‐century, to be effective biological modulators. These molecules have revealed new targets for cancer therapy as well as dissimilar modes of action within typical classes of drugs. In this scenario, innovation from marine‐based pharmaceuticals has helped advance cancer chemotherapy in many aspects, as most of these are designated as first‐in‐class drugs. Herein, by examining the path from discovery to development of clinically approved drugs of marine origin for cancer treatment – cyrabine (Cytosar‐U®), trabectedin (Yondelis®), eribulin (Halaven®), brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris®) and plitidepsin (Aplidin®) – plus those in late clinical trial phases – lurbinectedin, plinabulin, marizomib and plocabulin –, the present review offers a critical analysis of the contributions given by these new compounds to cancer pharmacotherapy.

Almirall avanza hacia la comercialización de su nuevo medicamento superventas. La farmacéutica catalana ha anunciado el inicio de los estudios de fase III para evaluar la eficacia de lebrikizumab en pacientes mayores de doce años con dermatitis atópica de moderada a grave. El compuesto, adquirido a la estadounidense Dermira en junio, tiene un potencial de ventas de 450 millones de euros, tal y como aseguran desde Almirall.
