Application Notes

Ethyl orsellinate, the ethyl ester of orsellinic acid, is a common lichen metabolite found in several lichen species, notably the commercial product, oakmoss, used in the perfume industry. Ethyl orsellinate has a broad range range of activities, including antibacterial, radical scavenger, in vitro antitumor and glycation inhibition. Ethyl orsellinate is a useful standard for bioassay and analytical techniques for dereplication of common co-metabolites.
