  • Applications

    Chloroatranorin (CAS 479-16-3) is a lichen-derived depside used primarily as a reference standard in phytochemistry and LC-MS/HPLC/TLC for identification, quantification, and chemotaxonomic profiling of lichens; as a scaffold for semisynthesis and structure–activity comparisons with atranorin derivatives; frequently evaluated in vitro for antimicrobial and antifungal activities, biofilm inhibition, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and cancer-oriented cytotoxicity; investigated for UV absorption and the photoprotective role of lichens (suggesting potential as a nature-based UV filter); and applied in quality control of lichen raw materials, extract standardization, analytical method development, and as a control when assessing toxicity and contact-allergy risk of lichen-containing preparations.
