“…These metabolites belong to a wide range of scaffolds such as alkaloids, benzopyranones, chinones, peptides, phenols, quinones, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, tetralones, xanthones, and others. Moreover, they, in the pure form, have demonstrated abundant biological activities, including antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, antiviral, antioxidant, immunosuppressant, anti-inflammatory, and antiparasitic properties [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Even though there are a few specialized reviews on the bioactive compounds from fungi, actinomycetes and other microbes [16,17], the amount of work done in the area is quite versatile, tenacious and significant.…”

Antibiotic resistance is becoming a burning issue due to the frequent use of antibiotics for curing common bacterial infections, indicating that we are running out of effective antibiotics. This has been more obvious during recent corona pandemics. Similarly, enhancement of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is strengthening the pathogenicity and virulence of infectious microbes. Endophytes have shown expression of various new many bioactive compounds with significant biological activities. Specifically, in endophytic fungi, bioactive metabolites with unique skeletons have been identified which could be helpful in the prevention of increasing antimicrobial resistance. The major classes of metabolites reported include anthraquinone, sesquiterpenoid, chromone, xanthone, phenols, quinones, quinolone, piperazine, coumarins and cyclic peptides. In the present review, we reported 451 bioactive metabolites isolated from various groups of endophytic fungi from January 2015 to April 2021 along with their antibacterial profiling, chemical structures and mode of action. In addition, we also discussed various methods including epigenetic modifications, co-culture, and OSMAC to induce silent gene clusters for the production of noble bioactive compounds in endophytic fungi.
