Cancer remains one of the most lethal diseases in worldwide. Significant research has been done for new anticancer medicine from natural sources, including plants, microorganisms, and marine organisms, because there is an urgent need for drugs with novel mechanisms of action. Over 90% of the oceans biomass is made up of marine flora, including bacteria, actinobacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi, microalgae, seaweed, mangroves, and other halophytes. The various types of marine drugs are highlighted in this review, with a focus on marine plants, algae, bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, sponges, and soft corals. Over 80% of the biodiversity on earth is found in marine ecosystems, and many of these animals have acquired special adaptations that allow them to survive in a variety of difficult settings.
