Lichen has been investigated for discovering new antibacterial agents. Although Indonesia is considered one of the megadiverse countries and a home to a diverse array of lichen species, research on lichens for medicinal properties remains scarce. In this study, an intensive semi-preparative High-Performance Liquid Chromatography successfully isolated a major compound from Phyloporon aciculare, with its molecular structure proposed as methyl 2,4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethylbenzoate by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectral and was confirmed by Mass Spectrometry data analysis. The crude extract of the li...

There is an urgent need for novel drug leads, especially for microbial infections due to continuing emergence of drug resistance. Natural products are the backbone of modern medicine and the lichens have an important role to play in the discovery of novel drugs. Indonesia is gifted with a diverse array of lichens, which remain underexplored for medicinal applications. In this study, we have collected a lichen, Candelaria fibrosa, and conducted phytochemical and bioactivity studies. Using high performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, we ...
