Bioactive natural compounds from the plant endophytic fungi Pestalotiopsis spp

Mini Rev Med Chem. 2012 Nov;12(13):1382-93. doi: 10.2174/13895575112091382.

Abstract

The plant-endophytic strains of the fungus Pestalotiopsis (Amphisphaeriaceae) are distributed throughout the world. Previous chemical investigation of members of the genus resulted in the discovery of various bioactive secondary metabolites including chromones, cytosporones, polyketides, terpenoids and coumarins with diverse structural features. The present report reviews the papers, which have appeared in the literature till now, concerning the isolation, structural elucidation, and biological activities of the secondary metabolites from Pestalotiopsis species.
