<div>Marine natural products began to be discovered extensively with the event of SCUBA in the 1970s. Since then, there has been an explosion in drugs developed from marine natural products. With the event of combinatorial chemistry, there was a steer away from marine natural products in pursuit of faster and more efficient methods. However, combinatorial chemistry failed to have the same success as natural products and a renaissance in natural products is being observed as of recently.
