The antimicrobial activity of extracts from endophytic fungi were determined using microdilution method. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity was used for antiradical activity and the chemical profile of promising extracts was analyzed using HPLC-DAD, UPLC/MS-QTOF and HPLC/MSn Electrospray Ion Trap. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration on yeasts and bacteria ranged from 0.019 to 5 mg/mL. Extract from T. atroviride was most active against yeasts (MIC from 0.019 to 5mg/ml) and P. chermesinum (MIC from 0.625 to 0.019 mg/ml) was against bacteria. The best radical scavenging activity was found with Diaporthe sp extract (%I from 9.929 to 41.134%). The chemical composition of extracts from T. atroviride, P. chermesinum and Diaporthe sp showed the presence of 8, 12 and 10 compounds respectively amongst which Genipinic acid, Citreomantanin, Dermoglaucin, Alternariol-5-methylether, Ascochitine, Aflatoxicol, Ascorbic acid, 4-deoxybostrycin, Bionectriamide B, Nivalenol, and Trisdechloronornidulin were identified. These results indicate that metabolites produced by endophytic fungi found in Cameroonian medicinal plants are potent source of bioactive compounds.
