The occurrence of the compounds 2, 4 and 5 in the herb reported here for the first time. The ethyl acetate extract showed significant antioxidant activity (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; = 2.781 mg/ml) and its yielded compound 3 showed moderate antioxidant activity (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; = 3.25 mg/ml) using DPPH method. The ethyl acetate extract showed better antifungal activity against &lt;em&gt;Aspergillus niger&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Candida albican&lt;/em&gt;s. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Compounds&lt;strong&gt; 2, 4, 5 &lt;/strong&gt;were isolated first time from this plant. The ethyl acetate extract showed significant antioxidant and antifungal activity against&lt;em&gt; A. nigar&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;C. Albicans&lt;/em&gt;. Thus, this study concludes by demonstrating the isolation, characterization, antioxidant and antifungal properties of &lt;em&gt;E. fusiformis&lt;/em&gt;, which may have further therapeutic value.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Words:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Euphorbia fusiformis&lt;/em&gt;, coumarins, antioxidant activity, antifungal activity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ponnam Devendar, K V N Satya Srinivas, J Kotesh Kumar,&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt; T Sandeep Kumar, Savita Bhagel and K P Sastry &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;CSIR-Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants-Research Centre, Boduppal, Hyderabad-500092, Telangana State, India.&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
