Marine natural products of fungal origin.

In the search for novel and bioactive molecules for drug discovery, marine-derived natural resources are becoming an important research area. Over 15 marine-derived secondary metabolites are currently in human clinical trials. Terrestrial fungi have produced many therapeutically significant molecules. However, the potential of marine fungi has only been investigated to a limited extent. This review article contains 103 marine-derived fungal metabolites and 77 references.
