Abstract
Lichens have been central to human health and
healing, not only as remedies in traditional medicine but as a reservoir of
chemically active molecules known as phytochemicals. Theses naturally occurring
secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides and
polyphenols have made an invaluable starting point for drug discovery and
development. LCMS analysis is one of the modern strategies used for exploration
of phytochemicals. In this present study, two hill lichens namely Sterecaulon
pomiferum and Usnea baileyi have been analysed. S. pomiferum
confirms the presence of Terpenoids, Anthraquinone, Orcinol Tripepsides and
Naphthaquinone. and from U. baileyi the presence of Stictic acid,
Constictic acid, Methyl pseudosalazinate, Eumitrin A1, Usnic acid,
6-O-Methylaverantin and Bonnic acid could be observed from LCMS peaks obtained
from methanolic extract of U. baileyi was observed.
