Abstract
Anionic and cationic resins-adsorbed fractions of 44 lichens, hot water extracts of 9 lichens, and 20 lichen metabolites and their degradation products were assayed for their antitumor activity by the use of ascitic or solid-type mouse Ehrlich carcinoma. Among them, the adsorbed fraction of Ramalina almquistii Vain., d-protolichdesterinic acid and nephrosterinic acid were effective against the solid-type Ehrlich carcinoma.Keywords
