Molecular weight:**4.**5
Product Description:Usnic acid is a naturally occurring
dibenzofuran derivative found in several lichen species. Usnic acid
was identified in many genera of lichens including Usnea, Cladonia,
Lecanora, Ramalina, Evernia, Parmelia and Alectoria. Although it is
generally believed that usnic acid is exclusively restricted to
lichens, in a few unconfirmed isolated cases the compound was found
in kombucha tea and non-lichenized ascomycetes.
Usnic acid has been found to have adrenergic activity in both frog
and earthworm nerve junction models in preliminary research.
