<br/><br/> Objective: <br/>The objective of the present investigation was to p<br/>erform the Gas Chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC<br/>MS) analysis of endophytic <br/>fungi <br/>Curvularia aeria<br/> MTCC-12847 isolated from <br/>Tribulus terrestris<br/> L. to find out the active compound present in the <br/>extract.  <br/>Methods: <br/>The endophytic fungi were isolated from the plant <br/>Tribulus Terrestris<br/> L., leaf which was cultivated in optimized media f<br/>or the production <br/>of secondary metabolites and was extracted using et<br/>hyl acetate. Ethyl acetate extract was used for the<br/> Gas Chromatography-mass spectrometry <br/>(GCMS) analysis.  <br/>Results: <br/>GC-MS analysis of ethyl acetate extract of endophyt<br/>ic fungi revealed the presence of various secondary<br/> metabolites, the highest amount <br/>present was Palmitic acid (24.54%) and Lowest was D<br/>imethyl 1-phenyl-7-methyl-1-hydroxy-1,4-dihydronaph<br/>thalene-2,3-dicarboxylate (5.76%). <br/>Conclusion: <br/>The endophytic fungal <br/>Curvularia aeria<br/> MTCC-12847 extract isolated from the <br/>Tribulus terrestris<br/> L. shows the presence of various
