Abstract
Among microorganisms, fungi are the ones that have the most imagination in producing secondary metabolites with the most varied structural differences, which are produced through different biosynthetic pathways. Therefore, they synthesize secondary metabolites classifiable into numerous families of natural compounds such as amino acids, alkaloids, anthraquinones, aromatic compounds, cyclohexene epoxides, furanones, macrolides, naphthoquinones, polyketides, pyrones, terpenes, etc. They also produced metabolites with very complex structures that can not be classified in the known families of natural compounds. Many fungal metabolites show different biological activities with potential applications in agriculture, food chemistry, cosmetics, pharmacology and medicine. This review is focused on the fungal secondary metabolites with anticancer activity isolated in the last ten years. For some metabolites, when described, their biosynthetic origin, the mode of action and the results of structure activity relationships studies are also reported.
期刊介绍:
Natural Products and Bioprospecting serves as an international forum for essential research on natural products and focuses on, but is not limited to, the following aspects:
Natural products: isolation and structure elucidation
Natural products: synthesis
Biological evaluation of biologically active natural products
Bioorganic and medicinal chemistry
Biosynthesis and microbiological transformation
Fermentation and plant tissue cultures
Bioprospecting of natural products from natural resources
All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review. In addition to original research articles, Natural Products and Bioprospecting publishes reviews and short communications, aiming to rapidly disseminate the research results of timely interest, and comprehensive reviews of emerging topics in all the areas of natural products. It is also an open access journal, which provides free access to its articles to anyone, anywhere.
