Synthesized Depside Molecules Suppress the Progression of Colorectal Cancer by Binding VDAC1/PHB/MMP9 Being at the Crossroads of Stemness, Motility, Apoptosis, and Metabolism. [PDF]
This study suggests that newly synthesized depside compounds suppress the progression of colorectal cancer by directly targeting VDAC1/PHB/MMP9. Especially, SB4 demonstrated significant bioavailability and successfully suppressed the tumor growth. ABSTRACT Lichen secondary metabolites have shown potential in cancer therapy, but strategies to enhance ...

Thermal Decomposition of Lichen Depsides
The thermal decomposition of the following lichen depsides has been described: lecanoric acid, gyrophoric acid, evernic acid, perlatolic acid, planaic acid, confluentic acid, atranorin, 4-O-de-methylbarbatic acid, and sekikaic acid. Main reaction products are decarboxylated compounds, phenolic units, rearranged depsides, and xanthones. Triethylammonium
