New racemic dispiranic polyketides, tsavoenones A (1), B (2) and C (3), having a novel 1,7-dioxadispiro[4.0.4.4]tetradecane scaffold were isolated from the foliose lichen Parmotrema tsavoense. These compounds were structurally elucidated by extensive NMR analyses, comparison between experimental and theoretical 13C NMR data and X-ray crystallography. A putative biosynthetic scenario for the formation of 1-3 from parmosidone D, a meta-depsidone previously isolated from the same lichen material, was proposed. Tested for its cytotoxicity, 1 displayed a moderate activity against human myelogenous leukemia K562 cell line with an IC50 value of 66 μg mL-1.

Article Synopsis
- The Sherpa people of the Pan-Himalayan region, facing isolation and economic hardship, rely heavily on traditional medicine sourced from their natural environment, which is currently threatened by social and economic changes.
- The study aims to document the Sherpa's traditional medicinal knowledge, evaluate the conservation status of medicinal plants, and trace historical influences on their healing practices.
- Through interviews with 78 Sherpa individuals, the research identified 51 plant species, one fungus, two lichens, and four minerals used for treating various ailments, with respiratory issues being the most frequently reported health concern.

The endolichenic fungi are an unexplored group of organisms for the production of bioactive secondary metabolites. The aim of the present study is to determine the antibacterial potential of endolichenic fungi isolated from genus Parmotrema. The study is continuation of our previous work, wherein a total of 73 endolichenic fungi were isolated from the lichenized fungi, which resulted in 47 species under 23 genera.
