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. Thirty-nine compounds have been isolated from the hexane(n-hex) extract, Ethylacetate (EtOAc) extract, and n-butanol (BuOH) extract, and they belong to the following groups, steroids, terpenoids, amino-acids, flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolics, fatty-acids, flavones, and others.enMetabolitesNatural productsMedical plantsUromycladium tepperianum MacAlpineNuclearUniversity of the Western Cape
