Recent advances in the structures and bioactivities of benzopyrans derived from marine fungi: a review.

ABSTRACT: Marine fungi represent a treasure trove of bioactive secondary metabolites, with benzopyran compounds emerging as a significant class of these natural products. This review delves into the structural diversity, biological activities, and sources of benzopyran compounds, highlighting their isolation from marine fungi inhabiting diverse environments such as sponges, marine sediments, algae, mangroves, and corals. Our literature search, conducted from 2000 to 2023, has identified a wealth of benzopyran compounds, showcasing their potential as lead compounds in drug development. The characteristics of benzopyran from marine fungi are explored, encompassing various subclasses such as chromones, isocoumarins, citrinins, and other related compounds. These compounds exhibit a remarkable chemical d
