Three new arthrichitin derivatives I-K (-) and three known congeners (-) were isolated from a coculture of mangrove-derived fungi sp. and sp. using H NMR-guided fractionation. Their structures were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis (1D/2D NMR, HRESIMS, ESI-MS/MS), Marfey's analysis, DP4+ probability, and experimental/computed ECD comparison. All compounds were evaluated for antibacterial effects and cytotoxicity. Notably, compounds and showed weak cytotoxicity against MHCC-97H cells (IC = 20.1 ± 0.9 and 25.8 ± 0.4 μM, respectively). Compound exhibited potent anti-BPH activity (IC = 0.36 ± 0.02 μM).

Kahalalide F is a cyclic depsipeptide with notable anticancer properties, initially discovered from the green alga sp. and its molluscan predator . Recent studies have pinpointed a bacterial endosymbiont of the green alga, Endobryopsis kahalalidefaciens, as the true producer of kahalalide F.

Cyanobacteria-derived peptides represent a promising class of anticancer agents due to their structural diversity and potent bioactivity. They exert cytotoxic effects through mechanisms including microtubule disruption, histone deacetylase inhibition, and apoptosis induction. Several peptides-most notably the dolastatin-derived auristatins-have achieved clinical success as cytotoxic payloads in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).

Beauvericin (BEA) is an emerging mycotoxin with wide-ranging bioactivity (antimicrobial and insecticide), making it a potential target for drug and pesticide development. BEA primarily produced by Beauveria, Isaria, and Fusarium species. The BEA-producing abilities of a collection of 100 Fusarium strains isolated from maize were tested using a gene-specific primer (Beas_1, Beas_2) by PCR.

Unlabelled: is a traditional Chinese medicinal fungus renowned for producing a variety of bioactive compounds, including beauvericin (BEA). BEA has garnered significant attention due to its therapeutic potential and associated food safety concerns. In this study, we identified an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter-encoding gene, , located within the BEA synthesis gene cluster of .
