biological activity
Ethyl Orsellinate is a lichen metabolite, lecanoric acid derivative, with anti-proliferation and anti-tumor activities. Ethyl Orsellinate inhibited the cytotoxic activity of A.salina with LC50 of 495 μM.
in vitro study
Ethyl Orsellinate (0-50 μg/ml; 48 hours) inhibits Hep-2 cells, MCF-7 breast cancer cells, and 786-0 kidney carcinoma cells, as well as B16-F10 murine melanoma and non-cancerous Vero cells (IC 50 s=31.2, 70.3, 47.5, 64.8, and 28.1 µg/ml, respectively).
production method
Ethyl 2, 4-dihydroxy-3, 5-dibromo-6-methylbenzoate was added to the sodium hydroxide solution and hydrogenolysis was performed in the presence of a palladium/polyvinyl alcohol catalyst. After the reaction, add sodium chloride to precipitate the catalyst, filter, acidify the filtrate and extract with chloroform, and the extract recovers the solution to obtain ethyl 2, 4-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzoate.
