description The genus <i>Callyspongia</i> (Callyspongiidae) encompasses a group of demosponges including 261 described species, of which approximately 180 have been accepted after taxonomic reviews. The marine organisms of <i>Callyspongia</i> are distributed in tropical ecosystems, especially in the central and western Pacific, but also in the regions of the Indian, the West Atlantic, and the East Pacific Oceans. The reason for the interest in the genus <i>Callyspongia</i> is related to its potential production of bioactive compounds. In this review, we group the chemical information about the metabolites isolated from the genus <i>Callyspongia</i>, as well as studies of the biological activity of these compounds. Through NMR data, 212 metabolites were identified from genus <i>Callyspongia</i> (15 species and <i>Callyspongia</i> sp.), belonging to classes such as polyacetylenes, terpenoids, steroids, alkaloids, polyketides, simple phenols, phenylpropanoids, nucleosides, cyclic peptides, and cyclic depsipeptides. A total of 109 molecules have been reported with bioactive activity, mainly cytotoxic and antimicrobial (antibacterial and antifungal) action. Thus, we conclude that polyacetylenes, terpenoids and steroids correspond to the largest classes of compounds of the genus, and that future research involving the anticancer action of the species’ bioactive metabolites may become relevant.
