This work aimed show importance as a potential source nutraceuticals well natural medicinal drugs. In this review, main classes molluscs, chemical ecology, different techniques used for extraction bioactive compounds have been presented.

Their pharmacological activities include antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic activities. Moreover, certain like abalones mussels contain unique applications, ranging from wound healing anti-cancer effects.
