Fungi produce a wide range of structurally unique metabolites. Depsidones represent one of the most interesting classes of metabolites, consisting of two 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid rings linked together by both ether and ester bonds. Naturally occurring depsidones are produced by lichen, fungi, and plants. They possessed a wide array of bioactivities, including antioxidant, antiproliferative, antimalarial, cytotoxic, antibacterial, radical scavenging, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and aromatase and protein kinase inhibitory. In order to point out the potential of this class of compounds, the present review focuses only on the depsidones that have been isolated from fungal source and published from 1978 to 2018. This review outlined the research on the biosynthesis, source, isolation, spectral and physical data, and bioactivities of the naturally occurring fungal depsidones. On the basis of 88 references, > 80 compounds have been described.
