Uses and functions of Usnic Acid Powder

Usnic Acid Powder (lichen) are a class of biological organisms with a high degree of genetic stability, also known as lichen-type fungi, which are formed by symbiotic bacteria (ascomycetes or sporangia) and symbiotic algae (cyanobacteria or green algae) through a long period of biological evolution and symbiosis.

Usnic Acid Powder are an important class of organisms in natural ecosystems and are widely found in nature, including plateaus, grasslands, forests, arid deserts, rocky surfaces, and even equatorial and bipolar regions.

Bioactive pharmacological effects of Usnic Acid Raw Powder

1. Antibacterial effect: Pinellic acid can effectively inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Acinetobacter, Corynebacterium, and can inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium bovis, directly kill the cells of Staphylococcus aureus, and impede the Pseudomonas aeruginosa signaling pathway, suggesting that Pinellia extracts and Pinellic acid can be used for the treatment of acne, rosacea, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and other related dermatological disorders; in addition, it has an eliminating effect on sa-resistant plasmid. In addition, Pinus sylvestris acid has an elimination effect on SA drug-resistant plasmid, the elimination rate is 52% in 24h, and the elimination rate is up to 14.6% in 48h, which may be used for clinical treatment of drug-resistant SA infections.

2. Antiviral effect: Studies have proved that pineolic acid has the potential activity of inhibiting the proliferation of rat polyomavirus, which is mainly through the inhibition of the formation of messenger RNA, thus indirectly inhibiting the replication of DNA. Pinus sylvestris has inhibitory activity against Epstein-barrvirus (EBV), with (+)-pinus sylvestris showing the highest inhibitory activity (ED501.0 μg/mL) and (-)-pinus sylvestris showing weaker inhibitory activity (ED505.0 μg/mL).

Production method of Usnic Acid Powder

Usnic Acid Powder is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent with powerful inhibitory effect on most Gram-positive bacteria, the concentration of 50μg/mL can completely inhibit bacterial growth, and is used as a highly effective preservative in cosmetics.

It has selective inhibitory effect on streptococcus, the main bacteria causing oral diseases and dental caries. Pinusolidic acid is effective in many skin diseases such as burns, infections, psoriasis and so on.
