Studies on the Chemistry of Lichens, XIX. New Amino Compounds from Anaptychia fusca and Several Stereocaulon Species
The lichen Anaptychia fusca and several Stereocaulon species have been chemically investigat ed with regard to their content o f unknown ninhydrin-positive compounds. N ew aliphatic and alicyclic, amino components isolated from water extracts o f these lichen species have been charac terised as aminopentitol, aminohexitol and aminocyclitetrol. To our knowledge, this is the first time that com...
متن کاملLichenologist 28(6): 513–519 (1996) A NEW CRUSTOSE STEREOCAULON FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF SCOTLAND AND WALES
The new combination Stereocaulon plicatile (Leight.) Fryday & Coppins is made for a previously enigmatic crustose lichen with submuriform ascospores; the basionym, Lecidea plicatilis Leight., was previously misapplied to a norsticticacid containing species of Rhizocarpon. The systematic position of the crustose Stereocaulon leucophaeopsis group is discussed. ? 1996 The British Lichen Society
متن کاملIn vitro evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of lichen metabolites as potential preservatives.
Antimicrobial screening of several lichen species and subsequent isolation and structure elucidation of active compounds revealed that the hydrolysis products of certain lichen metabolites, i.e., depsides, were active against gram-negative bacteria and fungi as well as gram-positive bacteria. The active constituents isolated from Stereocaulon alpinum and Peltigera aphthosa were identified, resp...
متن کاملDepsides: Lichen Metabolites Active against Hepatitis C Virus
A thorough phytochemical study of Stereocaulon evolutum was conducted, for the isolation of structurally related atranorin derivatives. Indeed, pilot experiments suggested that atranorin (1), the main metabolite of this lichen, would interfere with the lifecycle of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Eight compounds, including one reported for the first time (2), were isolated and characterized. Two analo...
متن کاملIron oxides and hydroxides in the weathering interface between Stereocaulon vesuvianum and volcanic rock
The effectiveness of lichens in degrading their rock substrates, leading to the first stages in the formation of soil, has long been discussed and opinions have varied widely (Jones, 1988; Syers & lskandar, 1973). Nevertheless, it is generally recognized that lichen encrusted rocks provide an ideal environment for studying the biological weathering of minerals since, unlike the situation in soi...
