Lichen is a stable and mutually beneficial symbiotic association between fungi and photosynthetic organisms (green algae or cyanobacteria). Fungi are the main members of lichen, and their morphology and reproduction depend on fungi. In other words, lichen is a kind of special fungi. Lichens were traditionally regarded as special lower plants with fungi and algae symbiosis.Lichens are symbiotic complexes of algae and fungi. Because bacteria and algae combine closely for a long time and form a single fixed organism in morphology, structure, physiology and genetics, lichen is listed as lichen phylum. There are about 26000 species belonging to 500 genera.

1.Usnic acid is a secondary metabolite in lichens whose role has not been completely elucidated. It is believed that usnic acid protects the lichen from adverse effects of sunlight exposure and deters grazing animals with its bitter taste.
2.Usnic acid possesses a wide range of interesting biological properties. It is a potent antibiotic effective against Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Pneumococcus, other bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and some pathogenic fungi. It also exhibits antiviral, antiprotozoal, antimitotic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. Other characteristics, like ultraviolet absorption, preserving properties, antigrowth, antiherbivore and anti-insect properties, have also been demonstrated.
3. Usnic acid has been included as an ingredient in creams, powders, toothpastes, mouthwash, deodorants, hair shampoos and sunscreen products. In some of these preparations, usnic acid is employed as an active principle, in others as a preservative.
4. Usnic acid and its salt form, sodium usniate, have been marketed in the US as an ingredient in food supplements for use in weight reduction, although unsupported by solid scientific proof.
