Echinodermata natural products

ABSTRACT An overview of sulfur-containing natural products isolated from the marine invertebrate phyla that are commonly studied by natural products chemists, is provided. The material is arranged by phyla and sulfated compounds are included, except for the Echinodermata where sulfated saponins and steroids are specifically excluded. A total of 638 compounds and 530 references are recorded. The review covers the published literature up until the end of 2001. References to reported syntheses and comments on biological activities of metabolites are included.
