描述了棘皮动物门中一些次生代谢产物的结构及其分布。神经节苷脂，醌类色素和硫酸甾醇在棘皮动物中广泛存在，尽管这些化合物在大多数其他海洋无脊椎动物中不存在或罕见。海星与海参、海胆与蛇尾、海百合与海星等动物在低分子量天然产物的生物合成方向上存在着许多系统发育上的平行关系，表明所有棘皮动物都具有单系起源。同时，三萜苷、某些神经节苷脂、19（11）_甾醇、甾体寡苷等代谢产物与这些动物的不同群体有关。其中特别感兴趣的化学分类特征是海参的三萜苷，这已被用于有意义的分类海参。这些和其他次级代谢产物的应用，为分类的目的是可能的，只有通过考虑的情况下，生化收敛和调用瓦维洛夫的法律同源系列。
The structures of some secondary metabolites and their distribution in the Phylum Echinodermata are described. Gangliosides, quinoid pigments and steryl sulfates in echinoderms are widespread, although these compounds are absent or rare in the majority of other marine invertebrates. There are numerous phylogenetic parallelisms dealing with directions of the biosynthesis oflow molecular weight natural products between starfishes and sea cucumbers, sea urchins and ophiuroids, sea lilies and starfishes and so on. They indicate a monophyletic origin of all echinoderms. At the same time such metabolites as triterpene glycosides, some gangliosides,, 19 (11) _ sterols, steroid oligoglycosides are linked to separate groups of these animals. Of particular interest among them as chemotaxonomic characters are triterpene glycosides from sea cucumbers, which have been utilized in a meaningful classification of Holothurioidea. The application of these and other secondary metabolites for taxonomic purposes is possible only by considering the cases of biochemical convergence and by invoking Vavilov's law of homologous series.
