Endophytes are organisms, often fungi and bacteria that live between plant cells. The relationship they establish with the plant varies from symbiotic to almost pathogenic. Endophytes have proven to be a promising source of bioactive natural products with interesting structural diversity. In the present study, the secondary metabolites of the endophytic fungi Fusarium solani was investigated. This fungus was isolated from the rhizomes of the marine herbaceous plant Posedonia oceanica harvested in the Mediterranean Sea. The ethyl acetate extract of F. solani presented antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In order to isolate the compounds responsible for these activities, the culture of F. solani was up-scaled and purified by semi-prep. HPLC. A new procedure based on dry charge injection was used in order to maintain the column resolution over high charges. This approach resulted in the successfully one-step isolation of 23 compounds, 16 of them are original natural products possessing interesting antimicrobial activities. known compounds were dereplicated by in silico databases search based on UHPLC-HRMS. A molecular network of structure similarity was created within the extract based on MS-MS spectra. The structure elucidation of the isolated compounds was performed based on NMR and HRMS data analysis.
