Three new diterpene glycosides, virescenosides V (1), W (2), and X (3) have been isolated from a marine strain of Acremonium striatisporum KMM 4401 associated with the holothurian Eupentacta fraudatrix. Their structures have been elucidated on the basis of high resolution mass spectrometry, 1D and 2D NMR (1H, 13C, DEPT, COSY 45, COSY RCT, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY spectra) as 19-O-β-D-altropyranosyl-7-oxo-isopimara-8(14),15-diene-2α,3β-diol (1), 19-O-β-D-altropyranosyl-isopimara-7,15-diene-2α,3β,6α-triol (2), and 19-O-β-D-altropyranosyl-isopimara-8,15-diene-2α,3β,7α-triol (3).

Meroterpenoids, including several biologically active metabolites from marine microorganisms mainly fungi and actinomycete bacteria, represent promising structural scaffolds with not only diverse biological activities such as antimicrotubule, cytotoxic and antiproliferative but also different mechanisms of action. In this chapter, an overview on structural diversity and anticancer activity of mixed biogenesis terpenoid derivatives (meroterpenoids) from marine microorganisms is presented with highlight on individual examples of the most promising candidates in cancer chemotherapy and prevention

Background: Natural products acquire vast and intriguing structural diversity and have been recognized as a tremendously diverse source of new lead compounds. Numerous bioactive secondary metabolites are present in the form of glycosylated molecules in which the sugar parts are normally associated with the interaction along with molecular recognition of the cellular target. Scope and approach: The presence of sugar entities are crucial as well as in some cases necessary, for therapeutic effects. Establishing novel and potent glycosylated secondary metabolites has formed a main goal in the natural product field from fungi and bacteria. These compounds possess a diverse range of sugar units. Key findings and conclusions: Fungi is considered one of the important sources for approved drugs with a diverse range of mode of action. The sugar part in numerous pharmacologically active natural products enhances bioavailability, biological potential, reduce toxicity, and improve stability. The vast majority of glyocosides showed antimicrobial effects, cytotoxic, antiviral and antiinflammatory effects. Notably, numerous fungal glycosides presented in this review illustrate significant antimicrobial effects towards various microorganisms especially against plant pathogens. The antimicrobial effects of these fungal glycosides indicate that these metabolites could be employed as natural preservatives in food in order to abolish or control the growth of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms.

Terpenes from marine-derived fungi show a pronounced degree of structural diversity, and due to their interesting biological and pharmacological properties many of them have aroused interest from synthetic chemists and the pharmaceutical industry alike. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the structural diversity of terpenes from marine-derived fungi, highlighting individual examples of chemical structures and placing them in a context of other terpenes of fungal origin. Wherever possible, information regarding the biological activity is presented
