Abstract

A growing body of evidence has indicated that endophytic microorganism is one of the important prolific producers of natural products with potential application in new drug discovery. On the basis of the extensive literature search, new endophyte-related findings in secondary metabolites uncovered during the past 11 years (2006-2016) were summarized in this review according to their bioactive properties.

Keywords: Endophyte, symbiotic microbe, secondary metabolite, natural product, natural drug, drug lead.
