Lichen secondary metabolites from the cultured lichen mycobionts of Teloschistes chrysophthalmus and Ramalina celastri and their antiviral activities.

چکیده
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 nuclear magnetic resonance (1H) and electron impact mass spectrometry. Usnic acid exhibited antiviral activity whereas parietin had a virucidal effect against the arenaviruses Junin and Tacaribe.

Spore-derived mycobionts of the lichen Haematomma sp. were cultivated on malt-yeast extract medium supplemented with 10% sucrose to produce a new pyranonaphthoquinone, 4, as well as two known compounds (-)-usnic acid (2) and 5-deoxy-7-methylbostrycoidin (3). The structure of 4 was determined by spectroscopic methods. The inhibitory activities of 3, 4, and 6–8 against mammalian DNA polymerases (...

From the cultures of the spore-derived mycobionts of the lichen Pyrenula japonica, two new xanthones, 1,8-dihydroxy-3-hydroxymethyl-5-methoxyxanthone and 1,2,8-trihydroxy-5-methoxy-3-methylxanthone, were isolated along with 1,7-dihydroxy-3-methylxanthone, 1,5,8-trihydroxy-3-methylxanthone, 1,8-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-3-methylxanthone, emodin and sclerotiorin. Their structures were determined by spe...

Photobiont diversity within populations of Xanthoria parietina was studied at the species level by means of ITS analyses and at the subspecific level with fingerprinting techniques (RAPDPCR) applied to sterile cultured algal isolates. Populations from coastal, rural and urban sites from NW, SW and central France and from NE Switzerland were investigated. Between 8 and 63 samples per population,...
