Ag. Gonzalez et al., DEPSIDONES FROM LOBARIA-PULMONARIA AND THEIR CHEMOTAXONOMIC IMPORTANCE, Biochemical systematics and ecology, 22(6), 1994, pp. 583-586
Seven beta-orcinol depsidones were isolated from Lobaria pulmonaria (L
) Hoffm. var. meridionalis (Vain) Zahlbr. gathered on Pinus canariensi
s, three, methylstictic acid, hypostictic acid and cryptostictic acid,
for the first time from this species. Stictic acid and constictic aci
d acetone condensation derivatives were formed during the extraction p
rocess. The possible chemotaxonomic implications are discussed.
