Abstract: Marine invertebrates specifically echinoderms have been the subject of researchers in recent times. Quite a few metabolites have been elucidated from echinoderms which have gained a demand in the fields of pharmacology and pharmaceutics. The sea star which belongs to the Echinoderms produces unique natural products which have gained a demand in the fields of medicine The aim of this review is to provide current analysis on varied species of starfish and its bioactive compounds possessing cytotoxic, hemolytic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, itcthyotoxic and antifouling activity. The major compounds isolated from marine sea stars include steroids, steroidal glycosides, anthraquinones, alkaloids, phospholipids and peptides.
