Abstract
An extract containing phenolic constituents of the lichen Stereocaulon alpinum was shown to exhibit potent in vitro inhibitory effects on arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase from porcine leucocytes. The active component has been identified as the orcinol depsidone lobaric acid (1), which shows dose-dependent inhibitory effects on the enzyme, with an IC(50) value of 7.3 μM. Lobaric acid exhibits approximately 4-fold in vitro selectivity for 5-lipoxygenase as compared to cyclooxygenase.Entities:
