Description

Methyl orsellinate is a natural product with various biological activities, including antifungal, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. It is commonly found in lichens and has been studied for its potential medicinal applications. The synthesis of methyl orsellinate involves the reaction of orsellinic acid with methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst. Methyl orsellinate is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of various lichen metabolites, including orsellinic acid and depsidones. Researchers study methyl orsellinate to understand its biosynthesis, biological activities, and potential therapeutic applications. Its antifungal activity against various fungal species makes it a promising lead compound for the development of new antifungal drugs.'
