Terpenes from Fungi

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Natural Secondary Metabolites

Abstract

Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds produced by an extensive variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms. A wide range of the biological properties of terpenoids is recognized, including cancer chemopreventive effects, antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, antihyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, and antiparasitic activities. Fungi are known to produce several well-known terpenoids, including mycotoxins, antibiotics, antitumor compounds, and phytohormones. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on fungal terpenoid biosynthesis from biochemical viewpoint, taking into account the main differences between the terpenome of the major fungal phyla. We also propose opportunities and challenges for the introduction of these secondary metabolites as biologically active compounds for the development of drugs, agrochemicals, as well as nutraceuticals in food industry.
