Roccella Phycopsis
''Roccella phycopsis'' is a species of lichen in the family Roccellaceae. A study of ''Roccella phycopsis'' in Tunisia revealed that it contains methyl orcellinate, a chemical compound of interest for its anti-inflammatory Anti-inflammatory is the property of a substance or treatment that reduces inflammation or swelling.

Roccellaceae
The Roccellaceae are a family of fungi in the order Arthoniomycetes. Most taxa are lichenized with green algae, although some are lichenicolous, growing on other lichens. Genera , Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts 47 genera and 266 species in family Roccellaceae. *'' Ancistrosporella'' – 3 spp. *'' Austrographa'' – 3 spp. *'' Austroroccella'' – 1 sp. *'' Baidera'' – 1 sp. *'' Chiodecton'' – ca. 22 spp. *'' Cresponea'' – 21 spp. *'' Crocellina'' – 1 sp. *'' Dendrographa'' – 7 spp. *'' Dichosporidium'' – 8 spp. *'' Diplogramma'' – 1 spp. *'' Dirina'' – 13 spp. *'' Dirinastrum'' – 2 spp. *'' Diromma'' – 1 sp. *'' Enterodictyon'' – 2 spp. * *'' Enterographa'' – (ca. 30 and 25 orphaned) *'' Erythrodecton'' – 3 spp. *'' Feigeana'' – 1 sp. *'' Follmanniella'' – 1 sp. *'' Gorgadesia'' – 1 sp. *'' Graphidastra'' – 4 spp. *'' Gyrographa'' – 3 spp. *'' Gyronactis'' – 2 spp. *'' Halographis'' – 1 sp. ...

Methyl Orcellinate
In organic chemistry, a methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, having chemical formula . In formulas, the group is often abbreviated as Me. This hydrocarbon group occurs in many organic compounds. It is a very stable group in most molecules. While the methyl group is usually part of a larger molecule, bounded to the rest of the molecule by a single covalent bond (), it can be found on its own in any of three forms: methanide anion (), methylium cation () or methyl radical (). The anion has eight valence electrons, the radical seven and the cation six. All three forms are highly reactive and rarely observed. Methyl cation, anion, and radical Methyl cation The methylium cation () exists in the gas phase, but is otherwise not encountered. Some compounds are considered to be sources of the cation, and this simplification is used pervasively in organic chemistry. For example, protonation of methanol gives an electr ...

Anti-inflammatory
Anti-inflammatory is the property of a substance or treatment that reduces inflammation or swelling. Anti-inflammatory drugs, also called anti-inflammatories, make up about half of analgesics. These drugs remedy pain by reducing inflammation as opposed to opioids, which affect the central nervous system to block pain signaling to the brain. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) alleviate pain by counteracting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme. On its own, COX enzyme synthesizes prostaglandins, creating inflammation. In whole, the NSAIDs prevent the prostaglandins from ever being synthesized, reducing or eliminating the inflammation and resulting pain. Some common examples of NSAIDs are aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. The newer specific COX-inhibitors are not classified together with the traditional NSAIDs, even though they presumably share the same mode of action. On the other hand, there are analgesics that are commonly associat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
