LICHENS: MIGHT BE CONSIDERED AS A SOURCE OF GASTROPROTECTIVE MOLECULES?

Lichens are symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. Secondary metabolites from lichens are known as lichen substances. We investigated depsidone and depside from lichens 1-6 in the context of their action to prevent gastric ulcer on the model of HCl/ethanol in mice for the f...
