Product Information
| Description: | Usnic acid is a lichen secondary metabolite with a unique dibenzofuran skeleton. Usnic acid has excellent anti-cancer and antibacterial properties. Usnic acid significantly inhibited ranKL-mediated osteoclast formation and function by decreasing transcription and translational expression of NFATc1. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
