Show abstract
Endophytic fungi associated with the Himalayan yew (Taxus wallichiana) represent an underexplored source of bioactive secondary metabolites. This study investigated the extracellular metabolites of Annulohypoxylon purpureonitens isolated from Nepalese T. wallichiana using bioactivity screening combined with LCMS/MS-based metabolomics. The fungal extract exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, showing the strongest inhibition against Staphylococcus aureusand Enterococcus faecalis (MIC = 500 ug/mL). It also displayed notable antioxidant capacity(DPPH, ABTS, TPC &TFC) and cytotoxicity against HeLa and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. Metabolite profiling via GNPS molecular networking, manual MS/MS validation, and MASST reverse metabolomics putatively identified diverse compounds, including hydroquinidine, chlorogenic acid, muramic acid, and cordycepin conjugates widely distributed across public microbial datasets. Overall, A. purpureonitens is a promising source of multifunctional metabolites, laying a foundation for future compound isolation and functional characterization.
