Abstract
The aim of the present chapter is to appraise the phytochemical and pharmacological potential of the endophytes. This chapter will further highlight the future research prospects of the study of endophytes with antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. Informations on endophytes were obtained from related publications using electronic scientific databases. Based on previous reports, it could be said that the endophytes have emerged as excellent source of compounds which could be used for the treatment of skin diseases and microbial infections and as anticancer and anti-inflammatory agents. The studies provide new knowledge on the isolation and characterization of novel bioactives especially in the discovery of novel therapeutic drugs with antioxidant and antidiabetic properties. however, current research on the pharmacological properties of all the endophyte species including bioassay-guided isolation of phytoconstituents and their mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, efficacy, and safety should be carried out in the future to add more value to this study.
