Lobaric acid（Cat No.:R074532）is a naturally occurring depsidone compound primarily isolated from lichens such as Stereocaulon and Lobaria species. It features a complex aromatic structure with multiple hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups, contributing to its diverse biological activities. Lobaric acid has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and biomedical research. Its unique polyphenolic backbone also provides structural rigidity and potential for metal chelation. Ongoing studies explore its mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential, especially in modulating oxidative stress and inflammatory signaling pathways.
