Aspergillus terreus microorganism represents a promising prospective source for drug discovery since it is rich in diverse kinds of bioactive secondary metabolites. It contributed to many biotechnological applications and its metabolites are used in the synthesis of certain pharmaceuticals and food products, in addition to its useful uses in fermentation processes. There are about 346 compounds identified from marine and terrestrial-derived A. terreus from 1987 until 2022, 172 compounds of them proved a vast array of bioactivity. This review aimed to create an up-to-date comprehensive literature data of A. terreus's secondary metabolites classes supported by its different bioactivity data to be a scientific record for the next work in drug discovery.
土曲霉微生物是药物发现的一个有前景的潜在来源,因为它富含多种生物活性次级代谢产物。它在许多生物技术应用中发挥了作用,其代谢产物除了在发酵过程中有有用的用途外,还用于某些药品和食品的合成。从1987年到2022年,从海洋和陆地来源的土曲霉中鉴定出约346种化合物,其中172种化合物具有广泛的生物活性。本综述旨在创建一份最新的关于土曲霉次级代谢产物类别的综合文献数据,并辅以其不同的生物活性数据,作为药物发现后续工作的科学记录。
