Application Notes

Orsellinic acid dimethylether is a common salicylic acid unit in the biosynthesis and degradation of secondary metabolites in lichens and the ester component of the azaphilone falconensins. The bioactivity of orsellinic acid dimethylether is not well understood but it is a useful standard for bioassay and analytical techniques for dereplication of common co-metabolites.
