Fungal endophytes are a major source of anti-infective agents and other medically relevant compounds. However, their classical blinded-chemical investigation is a challenging process due to their highly complex chemical makeup. Thus, utilizing cheminformatics tools such as metabolomics and computer-aided modelling is of great help deal with such complexity and select the most probable bioactive candidates.

In this work, three fungal endophytes identified as (AFL, AFSt and AFR), were studied for their antioxidant potential. LC-MS-based metabolomics, followed by multivariate statistical analysis were then applied to comprehensively profile their extracts. The three fungal endophytes revealed interesting antioxidant potential, in particular, the strain isolated from the leaves (AFL), which was rich in different types of phenolic metabolites.
