Fungus and their Anti-Cancerous Properties

Fungus are a valuable source of compounds of therapeutic relevance, and it has many cytotoxic effects and to be a bit precise of anticancer compounds [1]. Furthermore, herbal product’s overall synthesis is a treasured device most effective for the development of original complex biologically active compounds as well as for the improvement of innovative methodologies in enantio- selective natural synthesis [2]. Natural products play a vital role in the development of anticancer drugs. Till date, predominantly metabolites from fungi served as lead structures for anticancer agents. Fungal metabolites and their derivatives are much less investigated for their potential in cancer therapy. This review gives a detailed overview on the role of fungal derivatives in cancer therapy and summarizes some of the latest results of our group in this area.
