3-Hydroxyterphenyllin is a p-terphenyl fungal metabolite originally isolated from A. candidus that has diverse biological activities, including antioxidant, antiproliferative, antibacterial, and antiviral properties.1,2,3,4 It has a 96% scavenging effect on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals when used at a concentration of 100 μg/ml.2 3-Hydroxyterphenyllin inhibits the growth of HeLa cervical, A549 lung, and HepG2 liver cancer cells (IC50s = 23, 36, and 32 μM, respectively), as well as methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and V. vulnificus bacteria (MIC = 31 μg/ml for both).3 It also inhibits HIV-1 integrase in both coupled and strand transfer assays (IC50s = 2.8 and 12.1 μM, respectively).4References1.

Methyl 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate is a polyphenol that has been found inI. aquifoliumseeds and has antioxidant and antiviral activities.1,2It scavenges 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals in a cell-free assay (IC50= 0.0025 mg ml).1Methyl 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate (0.01 μg ml) inhibits enterovirus 71 replication in rhabdomyosarcoma cells.2 1.Nahar, L., Russell, W.R., Middleton, M., et al.Antioxidant phenylacetic acid derivatives from the seeds of Ilex aquifoliumActa Pharm.55(2)187-193(2005) 2.Wang, L., Wang, J., Wang, L., et al.Anti-enterovirus 71 agents of natural productsMolecules20(9)16320-16333(2015)
Lobaric acid is a depsidone metabolite that has been isolated from Stereocaulon lichen species with antioxidant, antiproliferative, antiviral, and enzyme inhibitory activites. It scavenges superoxide radicals in a cell-free assay (IC50 = 97.9 μmol) and inhibits proliferation in a panel of leukemia, colorectal, gastric, breast, ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, and lung cancer cell lines (EC50s = 15.2-63.9 μg ml). Lobaric acid inhibits protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B; IC50 = 0.87 μM for the human recombinant enzyme) and production of 12(S)-HETE (Item No. 34570) by 12(S)-lipoxygenase (IC50 = 28.5 μM). In vivo, lobaric acid (250 μM) decreases lesion number, but not lesion diameter, in tobacco leaves infected with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV).
