Sixteen endophytic fungi were isolated from endemic Allium species which were collected from selected locations in Uzbekistan: south-western KyzylKum, Kashkadarya region, Pap hills, foothills of Kuramin range, foothills of the Nurata and Chatkal nature reserves. The isolates were tested for antibacterial, antidiabetic and cytotoxic activity. Obtained data showed that endophytes produce compounds with antibacterial, antidiabetic and cytotoxic properties that indicate the potential of endophytic fungi associated with Allium plants as a source of new secondary metabolites with therapeutic value.
