AgradecimentosÀ Deus, pelo dom da vida;Aos meus queridos pais, Jaime e Lea Andrioli;Aos meus amados irmãos, Gabriela e Ronald;À toda minha família, repleta de pessoas de bom coração; It is known that microorganisms are considered as promising source of bioactive molecules and endophytic and entomopathogenic fungi are included in this group. Therefore, we selected the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana and the endophytic fungus Mycoleptodiscus indicus to initiate the prospection aiming to determine the favorable growing conditions to obtain secondary metabolites with biological activity. This work was guided by biological assays and chromatographic analysis. The fractions obtained in the cultivation in a large scale were subjected to biological tests (leishmanicidal, antimalarial, antimicrobial and cytotoxic). The dichloromethane and ethyl acetate fractions of both fungi showed promising results in antitumor and leishmanicidal assays. Then, these fractions were subjected to chromatographic processes that allowed the isolation of compounds whose chemical structures were elucidated through the use of NMR techniques, mass spectrometry, UV, IR, αD, and X-ray diffraction. From cultures of B. bassiana were obtained compounds from the pyridone class: pyridovericin, pyridovericin-N-O-(4-O-methyl-β-D-glucopyranoside) and pyridovericin-15-deoxy, being the latter two novel compounds; and alloxazine class: 7,8-dimethylalloxazine (lumichrome) and 1-methyl-11-hydroxylumichrome, being this last one unprecedented. From M. indicus cultures were obtained compounds from two classes: azaphilone and chromene. In this thesis we report the derivatives eugenitin, 6-methoxyeugenin and 9-hydroxyeugenin, which have been isolated from a wide variety of plants and fungi. Azaphilones are a class of structurally diverse fungal metabolites, known pigments with pyran-quinone structure and contains a highly oxygenated bicyclic core and a chiral quaternary center. Then, we obtained two known azaphilones: austdiol and austdiol diacetate (product of acetylation), and three unprecedent azaphilones: austdiol dimer, austdiol dihydrois...
