Abstract

Endophytic fungi are fungi that live in plant tissues that do not cause disease symptoms, do not harm the host plant, and can produce secondary metabolites such as antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral compounds. This study was conducted to isolate and evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of endophytic fungi from Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f. against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. The antibacterial activity test was carried out qualitatively by thin layer chromatography-direct-bioautography (TLC-DB), and microdilution methods were used for the antibacterial assay against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Antioxidant activity was determined against DPPH using TLC-DB and the microdilution assay. Antibacterial results showed that the extracts LBB-2.4, LBB-2.2, LBAu-1.1 and LBAu-2.1 could inhibit the growth of S. aureus. Meanwhile, extracts of endophytic fungi with the isolate codes LBB-2.4, LBB-2.1, LBAp-3, LBAp-1, LBAu-1.1 and LBAu-2.1 could inhibit the growth of E.coli. The results of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) showed that isolate LBB-2.1 had moderate antibacterial activity with a MIC value of 256 μg/mL against S.aureus. The extracts showed weak antioxidant activity against DPPH. It can be concluded that endophytic fungi extracts from Aloe vera have potential activity as antibacterial agents.

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Endophytic fungi are recognized as a valuable source of bioactive compounds with significant therapeutic potential, with species from the genus Colletotrichum being particularly noted for their prolific production of structurally diverse secondary metabolites. This study aimed to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of the endophytic fungus Colletotrichum sp., isolated from the leaves of Myristica fragrans Houtt., commonly known as nutmeg against MCF-7 human breast cancer cells using an integrated in vitro and in silico approach. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the fungal extract followed by LC-HRMS analysis led to the identification of three major compounds: 2-amino-1,3,4-octadecanetriol, L-α-palmitin, and muscone-like compound. The antiproliferative activity of each subfraction was assessed using the MTT assay, while molecular docking studies were conducted to evaluate their binding affinities and interaction profiles with estrogen receptor α (ERα). Among the tested subfractions, F2.3 demonstrated the strongest antiproliferative activity, reducing MCF-7 cell viability to 22.08% at a concentration of 50 µg mL-1. The identified compounds demonstrated notable antiproliferative potential, with L-α-Palmitin showing the moderate binding affinity to ERα as indicated by a binding energy of -6.406 kcal mol-1. Molecular docking analyses revealed key interactions, including hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic contacts, contributing to receptor-ligand stability. These findings highlight Colletotrichum sp. as a promising source of antiproliferative agents, thus warranting further investigation into the isolation, structural characterization, and in vivo validation of its active constituents for potential pharmaceutical development. Keywords: antiproliferative, Colletotrichum sp., endophytic fungi, LC-HRMS, Myristica fragrans Houtt., secondary metabolites.

Abstract

 Giant forest ant Dinomyrmex gigas is one of the largest ants species in the world, native to the rain forests of Southeast Asia. It is known that ants have glands that produce chemical compounds that inhibit the growth of microbes. Therefore, it is necessary to deter-mine the antioxidant and antibacterial activities as well as identify the chemical compounds of D. gigas extract. D. gigas was extracted successively with n-hexane, ethanol and methanol. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by determination of the half-maximal inhibi-tory concentration (IC50) values while the antibacterial activities of the extracts were determined by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The results exhibited that the IC50 values of n-hexane, ethanolic and methanolic extracts were 336.18±0.0984, 89.16±0.0219 and 90.72±0.0894 μg/mL respectively. The ethanolic extract exhibited the highest AAI value (0.34) followed by metha-nolic extract (0.33) and n-hexane extract (0.09). Based on AAI val-ues, the extracts were classified as moderate antioxidants. The best MIC values were 625 μg/mL for both ethanolic and methanolic ex-tracts against S. aureus, while MIC values of all extracts against E. coli were >625 μg/mL. Based on MIC values, all of the extracts presented weak activity against both S. aureus and E.coli. The GC-MS analysis showed that there are up to 30 compounds construct-ed of the ethanolic extract. Three major compounds are ethyl oleate  (29.78%), n-hexadecanoic acid (17.54%) and oleic acid (10.65%).
