Abstract: The genus Aspergillus is a ubiquitous and significant fungus with an increasingly pervasive role in both daily life and the food industry. This article presents a comprehensive overview of the 245 novel alkaloids identified within the Aspergillus genus since 2019. It offers a detailed introduction to the diverse biological activities and functional characteristics exhibited by these compounds, including antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic activity, as well as enzyme inhibition. Additionally, the article provides a detailed analysis of the structural features, publications, and countries of discovery for these alkaloids. It offers strategic guidance for the development of secondary metabolites derived from Aspergillus alkaloids, stimulating innovation in this field.
