Anticancer and antifungal compounds from Aspergillus, Penicillium and other filamentous fungi

Molecules. 2013 Sep 13;18(9):11338-76. doi: 10.3390/molecules180911338.

Abstract

This review covers important anticancer and antifungal compounds reported from filamentous fungi and in particular from Aspergillus, Penicillium and Talaromyces. The taxonomy of these fungi is not trivial, so a focus of this review has been to report the correct identity of the producing organisms based on substantial previous in-house chemotaxonomic studies.
