Abstract

Marine fungi have been a rich source of bioactive natural products with interesting pharmaceutical activities and potential therapeutic applications. This chapter reviews the recent analytical techniques for discovery and the characterization of bioactive compounds derived from marine fungi, which are highly diversified and are less explored. An overview about bioprospecting, collection, preparation, and preservation of fungi samples are also presented, as well as different methods and strategies used for extraction, fractionation, and structural characterization of the bioactive compounds are discussed, including their advantages and the disadvantages. Possible roles of these natural compounds in several interesting biological activities are also covered in this chapter.
