Usnic acid is the best-studied lichen metabolite, presenting several biological activities, such as antibacterial, immunostimulating, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antiparasitic agents; despite these relevant properties, it is a hydrophobic and toxic molecule. In this context, scientific research has driven the development of innovative alternatives, considering usnic acid as a source of raw material in obtaining new molecules, allowing structural modifications (syntheses) from it. The purpose is to optimize biological activities and toxicity, with less concentration and/or response time.

Background: Potassium usnate (KU), a water-soluble form of usnic acid, shows anticancer activity. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated.
Purpose: We aimed to identify the pathways involved in anticancer effects of KU in human gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) cells using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) based transcriptome analysis.

Schistosomiasis is a public health problem in many developing countries. The mollusc Biomphalaria glabrata is the most important vector of Schistosoma mansoni in South America. The population control of this vector to prevent the spread of schistosomiasis is currently done with the application of highly toxic molluscicide to the environment.

Here, we report enhanced the in vitro effect of potassium usnate on coupled adult Schistosoma mansoni worms at different time intervals and concentrations. The evaluated schistosomicidal parameters were the following: motility, mortality, fecundity and integumentary changes, as viewed in photomicrographs. Potassium usnate was able to cause 100 and 50% mortality at 100 and 50 μM concentrations, respectively, after 24 h of exposure, while 25 and 12.
