Anticancer compounds derived from fungal endophytes: their importance and future challenges
Abstract
Covering: 1990 to 2010
This is a review of anticancer agents isolated from endophytic fungi from 1990–2010. Endophytic fungi are defined as fungi that live asymptomatically within the tissues of higher plants. The designation ‘anticancer’ is based on the assessment of the authors of the paper of the cytotoxicity of each compound against specific cancer
