Potential anticancer activity of lichen secondary metabolite physodic acid
2017, Chemico-Biological InteractionsCitation Excerpt :The tested compounds arise from diverse lichen species collected in different localities of Continental and Antarctic Chile. Atranorin (1) was isolated from Bacidia stipata as previously described [15]. Gyrophoric acid (2) was isolated from Ochrolechia deceptionis Hue.

2012, Chemico-Biological InteractionsCitation Excerpt :The tested compounds arise from diverse lichen species collected in different localities of Continental and Antarctic Chile. Atranorin (1) was isolated from Bacidia stipata as previously described [6]. Diffrattaic acid (2) was isolated from Protousnea magellanica, Laguna Icalma (IX región, Chile) as previously reported [7].
Pro-apoptotic activity of ergosterol peroxide and (22E)-ergosta-7,22-dien-5α-hydroxy-3,6-dione in human prostate cancer cells
2010, Chemico-Biological InteractionsCitation Excerpt :The pro-vitamin D2, ergosterol (ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3β-ol) is abundant in mushrooms and has shown chemoprevention activity [6]. Ergosterol peroxide (5α,8α-epidioxy-22E-ergosta-6, 22-dien-3β-ol) can be found in plants [7], lichens [8] and mushrooms such as Ganoderma lucidum[9], Sporothrix schenckii[10] and Cordyceps sinensis[11]. Various biological activities were known for this compound, i.e., ergosterol peroxide has immunosuppressive [12–14], antiviral [15,16], anti-inflammatory [17], and antitumor [11,17] activities.
