Abstract

In recent years, marine natural products of fungal origin have gained considerable recognition, as many of them possess novel structures and interesting biological and pharmacological properties. This review includes 134 indole alkaloids of marine-derived fungi with their structures and activities published during 1991-2010. Of the indole alkaloids, there were 19 fumitremorgins, 22 notoamides, 18 cytochalasans, 9 fumiquinazolines, 11 indole terpenes, 21 peptides and other single indole alkaloids, and 34 bisindole alkaloids. These indole alkaloids showed not only unique structures but also a variety of important biological activities and had potential values in application.
