The ocean is a treasure house with rich resources of new chemical and biological molecules. A growing body of evidence suggests that marine fungi represent a huge and largely untapped resource of natural products that have been optimized by evolution for biological and ecological relevance. Alkaloids, the important components of natural products, have attracted much attention from medicinal and natural product chemists due to their unique structures and biological potential. The number and variety of alkaloids from marine fungi discovered in recent years maintain an upward trend. This review would give a systematic overview of the structures and bioactivities of marine fungal alkaloids obtained over the past six years and inspire the development of novel pharmaceutical agents.
