Abstract:
A keen interest and attention have been given to studies on Endophytic fungus as a substitute or an alternative to the traditional source of drugs which is principally plant as a result of its interesting bioactive products. This may be an additional means of increasing the yields of those already obtained from plants or a source of entirely new ones. In essence, it is a treasure trove of therapeutically active metabolites. The aim of the study was to challenge Cichorin A isolated from Pestalotiopsis sp. against mouse lymphoma cell line. The result showed that it has a weak activity with a growth inhibitory effect of 31.2%
