对来自海洋生物的次生代谢物的分析揭示了广泛的新的分子结构。这些化合物在其自然栖息地的功能与物种生存的各个方面有关，并且这些化合物还通过连续的营养水平作为特征化学标记。关于复杂和错综复杂的动植物组合中的合成轨迹以及生物合成途径的基本问题正在开始得到解答。现在很明显，海洋环境产生了一些独特的化学物质，这种化学物质是沿着特殊的路径产生的。一些新描述的化合物已经成为生物医学中有价值的工具。
Analysis of secondary metabolites derived from marine organisms has revealed a broad spectrum of novel molecular architecture. The function of these compounds in their natural habitat is linked to various aspects of species survival, and the compounds have also served as characteristic chemical markers through successive trophic levels. Fundamental questions concerning the locus of synthesis in complex and intricate assemblies of plants and animals and the pathways of biosynthesis are beginning to be answered. It is now apparent that the marine environment gives rise to some distinctive chemistry, which is generated along characteristic pathways. Some of the newly described compounds have already become valuable tools in biomedicine.
