Natural Products from Chilean and Antarctic Marine Fungi and Their Biomedical Relevance

Mar Drugs. 2023 Jan 29;21(2):98. doi: 10.3390/md21020098.

Abstract

Fungi are a prolific source of bioactive molecules. During the past few decades, many bioactive natural products have been isolated from marine fungi. Chile is a country with 6435 Km of coastline along the Pacific Ocean and houses a unique fungal biodiversity. This review summarizes the field of fungal natural products isolated from Antarctic and Chilean marine environments and their biological activities.

Keywords: Chilean marine fungi; biological activities; marine fungi; marine natural products.
