Abstract
Research on natural products and medicinal plants has been conducted more with each passing
year due to the great interest in isolating bioactive compounds and secondary metabolites from
natural products such as plants, fungi, and many other naturally occurring products. To our
knowledge, the Uromycladium tepperianum MacAlpine fungus has not been studied in depth
before thus, its organic characterization was unknown, but related species have been studied,
and these have shown compounds that may be used as medicine and as health benefits. Crude
and macerated extracts of the Uromycladium tepperianum fungus have been fractionized using
various chromatographic techniques such as solvent-solvent extraction followed by dry column
chromatography to achieve the required separations.
