Research progress on the structure and activity of secondary metabolites of Talaromyces sp.
The secondary metabolites of endophytic fungi have been the focus of natural product research in recent years.Talaromyces sp.is an important endophytic fungus,a sexual species of Penicillium.Talaromyces sp.is widely distributed,and its secondary metabolites include alkaloids,peptides,esters,and polyketides,some of which have diverse biological activities,such as antibacterial,anti-inflammatory,and antitumor activities.Talaromyces sp.is widely used in food and agricultural production and also plays an important role in the biological control of pests.Therefore,Talaromyces sp.has important research value and application potential in medicine,food,and agriculture.In this paper,338 secondary metabolites of cyanobacterium were reviewed,including 38 alkaloids,116 esters,47 isocoumarins,69 polyketides,16 quinones,52 steroids,and terpenoids.The data in this paper could provide some reference value for future research on Talaromyces sp.and its contributions to medicine,agriculture,and the environment.
