Rhizocarpic acid
Rhizocarpic acid (Compound 2) is a secondary metabolite of lichen. Rhizocarpic acid effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as murine myeloma NS-1 cells. Rhizocarpic acid is an antioxidant and an insect antifeedant with an ED50 of 71 μmol/g dry weight against neonate larvae of the Egyptian cotton leaf worm Spodoptera littoralis.
