The lichen secondary metabolite atranorin suppresses lung cancer cell motility and tumorigenesis

Abstract Lichens are symbiotic organisms that produce various secondary metabolites. Here, different lichen extracts were examined to identify secondary metabolites with anti-migratory activity against human lung cancer cells. Everniastrum vexans had the most potent inhibitory activity, and atranori...
