Abstract
Cancer is one of the major diseases, which require the improved drugs with fewer side effects. Until now, several marine natural products have been accessed for the anticancer property and few of them are in clinical trials too. Marine fungi are taxonomically diverse, largely productive, biologically active, and chemically unique offering a great scope for discovery of new anticancer drugs. The natural products isolated from the marine fungi are possibly inhibiting the processes such as inflammation, cell differentiation and survival, and metastasis of various signal transduction pathways and their by reducing the risk of cancer. In this chapter, we have discussed about the anticancer, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities of marine derived fungi.
