Antioxidant activities of lichen metabolites developed in vitro
The crude extract contains many compounds along with the various lichen metabolites and it is very difficult to say which compound(s) has the antioxidant potential unless and until it is purified. In the previous Chapter 3 & 4 the biological activities of Usnea ghattensis attributed to the crude extract containing usnic acid and norstictic acid have been presented. In order to know the antioxid...
متن کاملBioactivity of secondary metabolites and thallus extracts from lichen fungi
Fungal secondary compounds and total extracts are known to affect growth of bacteria, fungi, and plants. This study tested the effects of purified compounds and total extracts from three lichens on the growth of two plant pathogens, Ophiostoma novo-ulmi ssp. americana and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Usnic acid showed no reduction in relative growth rates (RGR), whereas vulpinic acid reduced RGR f...
متن کاملBiological activities of secondary lichen metabolites
Lichens produce a great variety of secondary metabolites and most of them are unique. These chemically diverse lichen substances accumulate on the outer surfaces of the hyphae. They have several biological activities, including photoprotection against intense radiation, as well as allelochemical, antiviral, antitumor, antibacterial, antiherbivore, antioxidant, antipyretic, and analgesic action....
متن کاملLichen planopilaris developed during childhood*
Lichen planopilaris is a disease that appears with lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia. It is considered a follicular variant of lichen planus. The examination of affected areas shows alopecia with perifollicular erythema and scaling, revealing a predilection for hair follicles. The involvement of children is uncommon, with few reports in this population in the literature. This study presents a cl...
متن کاملLichen secondary metabolites from the cultured lichen mycobionts of Teloschistes chrysophthalmus and Ramalina celastri and their antiviral activities.
Lichens and spore-derived cultured mycobionts of Teloschistes chrysophthalmus and Ramalina celastri were studied chemically, and results indicated that they produced, respectively, parietin and usnic acid as major secondary metabolites, which were purified and identified. Identification of the compounds was performed by high performance liquid chromatography and structural elucidation by nuclea...
