Chemical ecology of endophytic fungi: origins of secondary metabolites.
Endophytes constitute a remarkably multifarious group of microorganisms ubiquitous in plants and maintain an imperceptible association with their hosts for at least a part of their life cycle. Their… Expand

An endophytic fungus from Camptotheca acuminata that produces camptothecin and analogues.
The pentacyclic quinoline alkaloid camptothecin (1) is a potent antineoplastic agent. Two of its analogues, 9-methoxycamptothecin (2) and 10-hydroxycamptothecin (3), exhibit similar potency but do… Expand

An endophytic fungus from Hypericum perforatum that produces hypericin.
For the first time, an endophytic fungus has been isolated from the stems of the medicinal herb Hypericum perforatum (St. John's Wort). The fungus produced the napthodianthrone derivative hypericin (… Expand

Effect of artificial reconstitution of the interaction between the plant Camptotheca acuminata and the fungal endophyte Fusarium solani on camptothecin biosynthesis.
Fungal endophytes inhabit healthy tissues of all terrestrial plant taxa studied and occasionally produce host-specific compounds. We recently isolated an endophytic fungus, Fusarium solani, from… Expand
