Salazinic Acid and Norlobaridone from the Lichen : Antioxidant Activity, α-Glucosidase Inhibitory and Molecular Docking Studies.

The present study was intended for the identification of secondary metabolites in acetone extract of the lichen using UPLC-ESI-QToF-MS/MS and the detection of bioactive compounds. This study led to the identification of 22 metabolites based on their MS/MS spectra, accurate molecular masses, molecular formula from a comparison of the literature database (DNP), and fragmentation patterns. In addition, potent antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory potentials of acetone extract of motivated us to isolate 10 metabolites, which were characterized as salazinic acid (), norlobaridone (), atranorin (), lecanoric acid (), lichesterinic acid (), protolichesterinic acid (), methyl hematommate (), iso-rhizonic acid (), atranol (), and methylatratate ( based on their spectral data.
