Abstract

Asteraceae is one of the world's largest families of Eudicots comprising several species used for economic and medicinal purposes, characterized by the production of important bioactive metabolites. However, few studies have regarded the chemical and biological diversity of the microorganisms associated with the species native from highland fields. The aim of this project is to explore the metabolome of non-studied Baccharis species, and their associated endophytic fungi, as a source of new bioactive compounds. After the isolation of endophytic fungi, the crude extracts from plants and fungal species will be prepared, fractionated and subjected to bioassays (antifungal, antiradical, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antitumoral, antileishmanial and allelopathic activities). The identification of compounds will be carried out through the dereplication methods. Bioactive samples will be purified, and the new compounds identified and assessed in biological assays. The project also aims to assess whether there is an influence of reproductive phenology on the diversity of endophytic fungi in dioecious species of Baccharis. In addition to establishing a new line of research in the Department of Botany (IB-USP) covering studies with endophytic microorganisms, this interdisciplinary project will contribute to the expansion of knowledge about the chemical diversity and biological potential of Baccharis species and endophytic fungi from Brazil.
