Abstract
The present review describes research on rare endoperoxides isolated from terrestrial and marine fungi, lichenized fungi and fungal endophytes. More than thirty fungal metabolites have been confirmed to exhibit antimicrobial, antibacterial, and anticancer activities, as well as other activities. A wide spectrum of pharmacological activities is associated with this type of fungal metabolites, which is also true for selected synthetic derivatives.
