Lecanoric acid is a chemical produced by several species of lichen. [1] Lecanoric acid is classified as a polyphenol and a didepside, and it functions as an antioxidant. [2] The acid is named after the lichen Lecanora. The acid has also been isolated from Usnea subvacata, Parmotrema stuppuem, Parmotrema tinctorum, Parmotrema grayana, Xanthoparmelia arida and Xanthoparmelia lecanorica. [3] [4] A related compound, 5-chlorolecanoric acid, is found in some species of Punctelia. [5]
