Usnic acid, a dibenzofuran, was originally isolated from lichens producing secondary metabolites, and is well known as an antibiotic, but is also endowed with several other interesting properties. Thus, the goal of this paper is the design of new usnic acid derivatives and evaluation of their antimicrobial activity. All newly synthesized compounds possess good antibacterial activity with MIC ranging from 1.02-50.93 × 10<sup>-2</sup> mmol mL<sup>-1</sup> and MBC from 2.05-70.57 × 10<sup>-2</sup> ...[more]
