Metabólitos secundários isolados a partir de fungos entomopatogênicos

Abstract

The entomopathogenic fungi are pathogens of insects and produce a large number of bioactive molecules of pharmaceutical, industrial and economic interests. Thus a bibliographic survey was realized between the years 2007 and 2017, with the objective of verifying the isolation and applications of the secondary metabolites of dissemination of these fungi, based on the databases Direct Science and Web of Science. It was verified the existence of 41 works that show the isolation and applications of compounds derived from entomopathogenic fungi. The results show that in the period, 17 different species of these fungi were studied, isolated from the most diverse insects and grown in different culture media. The articles show the isolation of 70 secondary metabolites originated different classes. These articles, 48.78% of related to pharmacological activity, 21.95% pointed to the creation of new agricultural products, 9.75% applications in general industry and 19,52% showed only the isolation of these metabolites.
