Metabolites of the phylum Porifera account for almost 50% of the natural products reported from marine invertebrates. Of the 2609 poriferan metabolites, 98% are derived from amino acid, acetogenin, or isoprenoid pathways. Isoprenoids account for 50% of all sponge metabolites, while amino acid and polyketide pathways account for 26% and 22%, respectively. A significant number of sponge metabolites appear to be derived from mixed biosynthetic pathways. Most structures reported containing carbohydrate moieties were glycosides.
