Marine organisms have attracted special attention in the last three decades for their ability to produce interesting pharmacological active compounds. Even though all marine organisms have the potential to produce antimicrobial secondary metabolites, the gastropod has the vital sources of secondary metabolites particularly their egg capsule which has the promising antimicrobial secondary metabolites. In the present review, we intend to focus on marine secondary metabolites from marine gastropod egg capsule. The following compounds i.e. Kabiramid C, Aplysianin E, Aplysianin A, Thisaplysianin E and Tyrian purple have been documented in egg capsule of various gastropod and most of the antimicrobial secondary metabolites have not been isolated from the egg capsule because of the odious, and complex chemical structure. Stability of the compounds is unknown.
在过去三十年中，海洋生物因其能够产生有趣的药理活性化合物而备受关注。尽管所有海洋生物都有产生抗菌次生代谢物的潜力，但腹足纲动物是次生代谢物的重要来源，尤其是它们的卵囊，其中含有很有前景的抗菌次生代谢物。在本综述中，我们打算聚焦于来自海洋腹足纲动物卵囊的海洋次生代谢物。以下化合物，即卡比拉米德C、海兔素E、海兔素A、此海兔素E和泰尔紫，已在各种腹足纲动物的卵囊中被记录，并且由于其结构难闻且复杂，大多数抗菌次生代谢物尚未从卵囊中分离出来。这些化合物的稳定性未知。
