Chemistry and Bioactivities of Secondary Metabolites from the Genus Talaromyces

Fungi have especially captured the interest and fascination of natural product chemists in that they produce a dizzying array of natural organic molecules with many unique functional groups and atom arrangements. In this review, we focus on the genus Talaromyces (Trichocomaceae) which has been a hot spot of natural product studies over the last three decades. This review summarized the discovery, structures, and bioactivities of various classes of 151 compounds isolated from both terrestrial and marine derived fungal strains of the genus Talaromyces reported from 1994 to 2019.
