- Abstract
A lot of secondary metabolites such as depsides, depeidones, depsones and dibenzofuranes were produced by lichens, a class of unique organisms. These special natural products display broad biological activities, such as antioxidant, radioresistance, antimicrobials, antiviral, anticancer, plant growth inhibitory effects and antifeedant. This paper reviews researches on lichen chemistry and bioactivities in recent 40 years, and then provides references for further studies and exploitations of lichen resources.
