Fungal endophytes: A modern approach to Pharmaceutical industry

Fungal endophytes are microorganisms that grows within living plant tissues without any symptoms of infection, and develop with plants for a major part of their life cycle. There is an endophyte for almost every plant in the world. Several novel bioactive compounds which can show a revolution in industrial agricultural and pharmaceutical sectors have been recently synthesized from endophytic fungi. This review is about endophytic diversity, and synthesizes of secondary metabolites that possess antimicrobial, antiviral, anti cancerous, antibiotics and with a lot of other secondary metabolites which can be used for better results in pharmaceuticals. It also sheds light on development of certain microorganisms that can provide remedy to drug resistant microbes present in the pharamaceutical market as the synthetic drugs present in the market are drug resistant. In order to provide aid and comfort in all aspects of mankind’s life it is very important to make drugs which have safe bioactive compounds which are not dangerous for human health. So, research for bioactive molecules which are new to pharmaceutical sector and have intense properties of treatment are studied upon.
