ABSTRACT Solvolyzable steroids in human peripheral plasma were separated by chromatography on Sephadex LH-20 into two fractions having the elution volumes of mono- and disulphates, respectively. The steroid conjugates in the latter fraction had the mobility of steroid disulphates on TLC. After solvolysis in ethyl acetate acidified with sulphuric acid the steroids were analyzed by gas chromatography and combined gas chromatography - mass spectrometry. Cholesterol, dehydroepiandrosterone, androsterone, epiandrosterone, aetiocholanolone, pregnenolone, pregn-5-ene-3β,20α-diol, androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol, androst-5-ene-3β,17α-diol and an androstanediol, most probably 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol were found in the monosulphate fraction. Androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol, androst-5-ene-3β,17α-diol and pregn-5-ene-3β,20α-diol were found in the disulphate fraction. The ratio of C19 to C21 diols was higher in the disulphate than in the monosulphate fraction.

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