Endophytic fungi are thought of as the hidden members of the microbial world that are widely recognised as a rich resource of potential chemical compounds with biological activities.The primary role of the bioactive substances produced by endophytes is to aid the host plants in withstanding abiotic and biotic stresses, which is ultimately beneficial to the survival of the host. Most of these endophytic fungi are from the Ascomycota, Oomycota, Zygomycota, and Basidiomycota groups.Research into endophytes has revealed that they have the potential to yield useful pharmaceuticals. Endophytic fungi are regarded as an under-utilized sourcethat hasn’t been used enough to find new drugs and compounds. Endophytic fungi exhibit antibacterial, anticancer, immunomodulatory, antiviral, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other biological activities, which are being exploited for pharmaceutical application using biotechnological tools. The present review focuses on the biopharmaceutical potential of endophytic fungi from an important group of medicinalplant belonging to the family Zingiberaceace.
