Biological Activities of Lichen-Derived Monoaromatic Compounds

Thanh-Hung Do et al.

Summary: Lichen-derived monoaromatic compounds have bioactive properties such as antioxidant, antifungal, antiviral, cytotoxicity, and enzyme inhibition. This study isolated and identified a series of monoaromatic compounds from lichen and evaluated their α-glucosidase inhibition and antimicrobial activity. Compound 4 showed the strongest α-glucosidase inhibition, while compound 9a exhibited remarkable activity against Staphylococcus aureus.

Antiangiogenic properties of lichen secondary metabolites

Gonul Ulus

Summary: Lichens are symbiotic organisms composed of fungi and algae and/or cyanobacteria, producing characteristic secondary metabolites with antimicrobial, antiviral, and antitumor activities. Some lichen-derived compounds have shown potential as antiangiogenic agents in the treatment of diseases associated with angiogenesis.

Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities of Usnea barbata (L.) F.H. Wigg. Dry Extracts in Different Solvents

Violeta Popovici et al.

Summary: Lichens, specifically Usnea barbata, are significant sources of antioxidants with high levels of usnic acid, polyphenols, and tannins contributing to their antioxidant properties. Different solvent extracts of Usnea barbata displayed varying levels of usnic acid, polyphenols, tannins, antioxidant activity, and cytotoxicity, with ethyl acetate and methanol extracts showing promising antioxidant effects but also high levels of cytotoxicity. Additionally, a moderate correlation was observed between the content of usnic acid, polyphenols, tannins, antioxidant activity, and cytotoxicity.

Anticancer Activity of 2-O-caffeoyl Alphitolic Acid Extracted from the Lichen, Usnea barbata 2017-KL-10

Hae-Jung Chae et al.

Summary: Colorectal cancer is a life-threatening disease with poor prognosis for metastatic patients. Lichens have been identified as sources of bioactive metabolites, including anticancer properties. The study evaluated the anticancer effect of a lichen-derived metabolite, 2OCAA, on colorectal cancer cells, demonstrating its potential as a therapeutic candidate.

In Vitro Anticancer Activity and Oxidative Stress Biomarkers Status Determined by Usnea barbata (L.) FH Wigg. Dry Extracts

Violeta Popovici et al.

Summary: Lichens are a valuable resource for traditional medicine due to their diverse metabolites, with the study finding that acetone and ethyl acetate extracts of U. barbata showed the most potent anticancer effects against CAL-27 oral squamous carcinoma cells and V79 lung fibroblasts. The research suggests that the anticancer activity of U. barbata extracts may be partially due to an imbalance in antioxidant defense mechanisms leading to oxidative stress.
