Marine-derived Penicillium has provided numerous excellent pharmaceutical leads over the past decades. In this review, we focused on the cytotoxic metabolites * (* Cytotoxic potency was referred to five different levels in this review, extraordinary (IC50/LD50: <1 µM or 0.5 µg/mL); significant (IC50/LD50: 1~10 µM or 0.5~5 µg/mL); moderate (IC50/LD50: 10~30 µM or 5~15 µg/mL); mild (IC50/LD50: 30~50 µM or 15~25 µg/mL); weak (IC50/LD50: 50~100 µM or 25~50 µg/mL). The comparative potencies of positive controls were referred when they were available). produced by marine-derived Penicillium species, and on their cytotoxicity mechanisms, biosyntheses, and chemical syntheses. Keywords: marine-derived Penicillium; natural products; cytotoxic metabolites; biosynthesis 1. Introduction The oceans, which occupy more than 70% of the earth’s surface, undoubtedly support vast habitats and serve as prolific resources of various living organisms. Compared to terrestrial organisms, marine organisms often produce highly potent metabolites with unique structures to enable them to adapt to extremely challenging environments [1]. Developments and improvements made in biotechnology have led to a new era of bioprospecting for new marine products. Revolutionary target screening methods have improved the efficiency of drug discovery. In addition, leading edge genomics of biological symbiosis offer more opportunities to discover drug candidates and precursors. Marine endozoic microorganisms represent a new frontier in the discovery of pharmaceutical agents [2]. In particular, marine-derived fungi are excellent producers of biologically active secondary metabolites. Since the isolation of the broad-spectrum antibiotic, cephalosporin C from the marine-derived fungus Acremonium chrysogenum, thousands of bioactive metabolites have been discovered and evaluated [3]. Cancer is the second leading cause of death. Lung, prostate, colorectal, and digestive tract cancer are commonly encountered in males, whereas breast, lung, and cervical cancer are the major causes of female death. Marine microorganisms produce limited amounts of highly efficient toxic substances to protect their hosts from enemies, and these substances have been investigated as potential anticancer drug precursors. In particular, marine-derived Penicillium species represent a major source of cytotoxic metabolites. In this review, we list all cytotoxic or antitumor secondary metabolites isolated from marine-derived Penicillium species and classify them into distinct chemical groups. In addition, we summarize the cytotoxicity mechanisms and proposed biosyntheses of these metabolites. Overall, more than 200 natural products and their synthetic analogues are included in this review. Mar. Drugs 2017, 15, 329; doi:10.3390/md15100329 www.mdpi.com/journal/marinedrugs Mar.

However, their clinical use has revealed problematic because of a number of technical and biological disadvantages. Among the different strategies proposed to overcome such difficulties, the search for non-peptide substances with neurotrophic potential is giving promising results. Here we will expose major findings in this field, drawing special attention to cyclohexenonic long-chain fatty alcohols, a novel family of compounds that promote neuronal survival and neurite outgrowth.

These canonical inhibitors share a highly conserved nine-amino acids binding loop motif CTP1SXPPXC (where P1 is the inhibitory active site, while X stands for various amino acids). They are natural controllers of plants’ endogenous proteases, but they are also inhibitors of exogenous proteases present in microbials and insects. They are considered as plants’ protective agents, as their elevated levels are observed during injury, presence of pathogens, or abiotic stress, i.a. Similar properties are observed for peptides isolated from amphibians’ skin containing 11-amino acids disulfide-bridged loop CWTP1SXPPXPC. They are classified as Bowman-Birk like trypsin inhibitors (BBLTIs). These inhibitors are resistant to proteolysis and not toxic, and they are reported to be beneficial in the treatment of various pathological states. In this review, we summarize up-to-date research results regarding BBIs’ and BBLTIs’ inhibitory activity, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activity, antimicrobial and insecticidal strength, as well as chemopreventive properties. Keywords: Bowman-Birk inhibitors; protease inhibitors; plant-derived inhibitors; amphibian-derived inhibitors; legumes; chemopreventive; anti-inflammatory; antimicrobial 1.

Received: 26 October 2018; Accepted: 22 November 2018; Published: 26 November 2018 Abstract: The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) is the central protein degradation system in eukaryotic cells, playing a key role in homeostasis maintenance, through proteolysis of regulatory and misfolded (potentially harmful) proteins. As cancer cells produce proteins inducing cell proliferation and inhibiting cell death pathways, UPP inhibition has been exploited as an anticancer strategy to shift the balance between protein synthesis and degradation towards cell death. Over the last few years, marine invertebrates and microorganisms have shown to be an unexhaustive factory of secondary metabolites targeting the UPP. These chemically intriguing compounds can inspire clinical development of novel antitumor drugs to cope with the incessant outbreak of side effects and resistance mechanisms induced by currently approved proteasome inhibitors (e.g., bortezomib).

In relation to a competitive aptitude developed in many and diverse environments, microorganisms are able to produce secondary metabolites with cytotoxic and antiproliferative properties that are valuable in the perspective of antitumor drug discovery. Particularly, fungal species in the genus Penicillium represent a prolific source of biologically active extrolites that in some cases have already disclosed possible relevance for an application in cancer chemotherapy.
