Abstract Endophytic fungi represent a significant renewable resource for the discovery of pharmaceutically important compounds, offering substantial potential new drug development. Their ability to address growing issue resistance has drawn attention from researchers seeking novel, nature-derived lead molecules that can be produced on large scale meet global demand. Recent advancements in genomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, and improved cultivation techniques have significantly aided identification characterization fungal endophytes their metabolites. Current estimates suggest there are approximately 1.20 million globally, yet only around 16% (190,000) been identified studied detail. This underscores vast untapped pharmaceutical research. Research increasingly focused transformation bioactive compounds by through chemical enzymatic processes. A notable example is anthraquinone derivative 6-O-methylalaternin, whose cytotoxic enhanced addition hydroxyl group, sharing structural similarities with its parent compound macrosporin. These structure-bioactivity studies open up avenues developing safer more effective therapeutic agents synthesizing targeted derivatives. Despite immense promise, challenges remain, particularly large-scale understanding complexities biosynthetic pathways.

ABSTRACT As a significant cause of global mortality, the cancer has also economic impacts. In era therapy, mitigating side effects and costs overcoming drug resistance is crucial. Microbial species can grow inside tumor microenvironment inhibit growth through direct killing cells immunoregulatory effects. Although microbiota or their products have demonstrated anticancer effects, possibility acting as pathogens exerting in certain individuals risk. Hence, several genetically modified/engineered bacteria (GEB) been developed to this aim with ability diagnosing selective targeting destruction cancers. Additionally, GEB are expected be considerably more efficient, safer, permeable, less costly, invasive theranostic approaches compared wild types. Potential strains such Escherichia coli (Nissle 1917, MG1655), Salmonella typhimurium YB1 SL7207 ( aroA gene deletion), VNP20009 (∆msbB/∆purI) ΔppGpp (P Tet P BAD ), Listeria monocytogenes Lm at ‐LLO combat cells. When used tandem conventional treatments, substantially improve efficacy therapy outcomes. addition, public acceptance, optimal timing (s), duration dose identification, interactions other host cells, efficacy, safety quality, potential risks ethical dilemmas include major challenges.
