Chemical Compounds from Fungus Syncephalastrum racemosum Isolated as Endophytic from Ageratum conyzoides

Abstract

: Ageratum conyzoides known as bandotan is a plant widely grown in Indonesia. This plant is used for the treatment of various diseases such as antibacterial, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic. The active compounds contained in this plant include alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, minerals and other compounds. Plants that have ethno medicine history are promising candidates to obtain bioactive compounds from their endophytic fungi. In the present study, chemical compounds were isolated from endophytic fungus Syncephalastrum racemosum from the stem of Ageratum conyzoides with the chromatography method. The structures of the compounds were determined by spectroscopy analysis. The compounds are aromatic group.
