Uses and functions of Usnic Acid Powder

Usnic Acid Powder (lichen) are a class of biological organisms with a high degree of genetic stability, also known as lichen-type fungi, which are formed by symbiotic bacteria (ascomycetes or sporangia) and symbiotic algae (cyanobacteria or green algae) through a long period of biological evolution and symbiosis.

Usnic Acid Powder are an important class of organisms in natural ecosystems and are widely found in nature, including plateaus, grasslands, forests, arid deserts, rocky surfaces, and even equatorial and bipolar regions.

Mechanism of Action

• The primary antibacterial mechanism of usnic acid involves inhibiting the mitochondrial respiratory chain and glycolysis processes in microorganisms.
• It effectively suppresses the activity of key enzymes such as acetyl-CoA dehydrogenase and succinate reductase.
• This action disrupts energy (ATP) synthesis, leading to microbial death by energy depletion.
• This unique mechanism also means microorganisms are less likely to develop resistance to it.

Bioactive pharmacological effects of Usnic Acid Raw Powder

1. Antibacterial effect: Pinellic acid can effectively inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Acinetobacter, Corynebacterium, and can inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium bovis, directly kill the cells of Staphylococcus aureus, and impede the Pseudomonas aeruginosa signaling pathway, suggesting that Pinellia extracts and Pinellic acid can be used for the treatment of acne, rosacea, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and other related dermatological disorders; in addition, it has an eliminating effect on sa-resistant plasmid. In addition, Pinus sylvestris acid has an elimination effect on SA drug-resistant plasmid, the elimination rate is 52% in 24h, and the elimination rate is up to 14.6% in 48h, which may be used for clinical treatment of drug-resistant SA infections.Премиальный порошковый экстракт уснеи (усниновая кислота 98%) - Ausreson

2. Antiviral effect: Studies have proved that pineolic acid has the potential activity of inhibiting the proliferation of rat polyomavirus, which is mainly through the inhibition of the formation of messenger RNA, thus indirectly inhibiting the replication of DNA. Pinus sylvestris has inhibitory activity against Epstein-barrvirus (EBV), with (+)-pinus sylvestris showing the highest inhibitory activity (ED501.0 μg/mL) and (-)-pinus sylvestris showing weaker inhibitory activity (ED505.0 μg/mL).

Production method of Usnic Acid Powder

Usnic Acid Powder is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent with powerful inhibitory effect on most Gram-positive bacteria, the concentration of 50μg/mL can completely inhibit bacterial growth, and is used as a highly effective preservative in cosmetics.

It has selective inhibitory effect on streptococcus, the main bacteria causing oral diseases and dental caries. Pinusolidic acid is effective in many skin diseases such as burns, infections, psoriasis and so on.

While Usnic Acid is a powerful natural compound, responsible use is paramount.

• Dosage: Always adhere to manufacturer guidelines or professional advice. Typical usage levels in formulations are low due to its high potency.

• Topical Use: Generally well-tolerated, but a patch test is recommended for sensitive skin.

• Oral Supplementation: Consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new dietary supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have pre-existing health conditions.

• Regulatory Status: In the USA, it is recognized as a dietary ingredient. Ensure compliance with local regulations (FDA, Health Canada, EFSA guidelines).

Frequently Asked Questions.

Q1: Is Usnic Acid safe for daily use?

A: When used appropriately in recommended amounts, either in topical formulations or as a dietary supplement ingredient, Usnic Acid is considered safe. However, long-term oral use in high doses is not recommended without medical supervision. Always follow product instructions.

Q2: Can I use Usnic Acid powder directly on my skin?

A: No. Pure Usnic Acid powder is a concentrated compound and should never be applied directly to the skin. It must be properly diluted and formulated into a carrier product (like a cream or lotion) by experienced manufacturers to ensure safety and efficacy.

Q3: What is the typical extraction process for Usnic Acid?

A: Usnic Acid is typically extracted from dried lichens using solvents like acetone or ethanol, followed by filtration, crystallization, and purification processes to obtain a high-purity, fine yellow powder.

Q4: Are there any known interactions with medications?

A: As with any bioactive compound, there is potential for interaction. Usnic Acid may interact with certain medications metabolized by the liver. It is crucial to consult a healthcare provider before combining it with any prescription drugs.

Q5: How do I verify the quality of a Usnic Acid supplier?

A: Request Certificates of Analysis (CoA) from third-party labs. Key metrics to check include purity percentage (often 95%+), heavy metals screening, microbial counts, and residual solvent analysis. A reputable supplier will be transparent with this data.
