Abstract: Meroterpenoids are hybrid natural products that partially originate from the terpenoid pathway. Ganoderma meroterpenoids (GMs) are a type of meroterpenoids containing a 1,2,4-trisubstituted phenyl and a polyunsaturated terpenoid part. Over last 5 years, great efforts have been made to conduct phytochemistry research on the genus Ganoderma, which have led to the isolation and identification of a number of GMs. These newly reported GMs showed diverse structures and a wide range of biological activities. This review gives an overview of new GMs from genus Ganoderma and their biological activities and biosynthetic pathway, focusing on the period from 2013 until 2018.
