This unique volume summarizes emerging approaches based on in silico, in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies to uncover the potential and the underlying mechanisms of diverse marine bioactive compounds to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 and its variants and, hence, pave the way for drug discovery devoted to the management of COVID-19.
Investigating a range of natural compounds for their anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity, this volume offers in-depth insights into molecular mechanisms that can inhibit viral/host protein targets of SARS-CoV-2. It highlights the action of marine bioactive compounds based on advanced bioinformatics tools such as molecular docking, computer simulation, and systems pharmacology, as well as multiple omics and high-throughput technologies. Chapters discuss the modes of action by selected marine polysaccharides, terpenoids, astaxanthin, and an indole-alkaloid (holyrine A) for combating SARS-CoV-2, and propose their potential role in COVID-19 management. Finally, a chapter discusses the role of marine bioactive compounds that include some traditional remedies from Southeast Asia for combating SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Providing valuable knowledge based on state-of-the-art literature that highlights the anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity of marine bioactive compounds, this work will be an important resource for researchers, professors, and experts in diverse sub-fields of life sciences, such as virology, pharmaceutical science and drug discovery, medical research, biochemistry, bioinformatics, biomedical science, computational biology, epidemiology, and other areas. The book presents approaches that are potentially useful for the management of global public health and can support the goal of establishing "Good Health and Well-Being," which is one of the "Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030" of the United Nations.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
