Abstract
Marine-derived fungi continue to be a prolific source of secondary metabolites showing diverse bioactivities. Terpenoids from marine-derived fungi exhibit wide structural diversity including numerous compounds with pronounced biological activities. In this review, we survey the last five years’ reports on terpenoidal metabolites from marine-derived fungi with particular attention on those showing marked biological activities.
Highlights
Marine-derived fungi have proven to be a prolific source of secondary metabolites with interesting structural properties and biological activities [1,2,3,4]
Monoterpenes have been rarely isolated from marine-derived fungi over the last decade
Scopararanes C–G (148–152), together with six known pimarane diterpenes, were isolated from the marine-derived fungus Eutypella scoparia FS26 that had been obtained from sediment collected in the South China Sea (Figure 11) [49]
Summary
Marine-derived fungi have proven to be a prolific source of secondary metabolites with interesting structural properties and biological activities [1,2,3,4]. The compounds covered include monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, sesterterpenes, and triterpenes in addition to prenylated polyketides known as “meroterpenes”
