Abstract
Structures, taxonomic distribution and biological activities of steroid glycosides isolated from marine organisms over the last 8–10 years are reviewed. The bibliography includes 130 references.
Research highlights► Steroid glycosides are specific metabolites of sponges, cnidarians and echinoderms. ► Structurally they differ from the corresponding terrestrial natural products. ► Cytotoxic, neurotrophic and antibacterial properties are the most important for them.
