Permeability of <i>Hypogymnia physodes</i> Extract Component—Physodic Acid through the Blood–Brain Barrier as an Important Argument for Its Anticancer and Neuroprotective Activity within the Central Nervous System

Permeability of <i>Hypogymnia physodes</i> Extract Component—Physodic Acid through the Blood–Brain Barrier as an Important Argument for Its Anticancer and Neuroprotective Activity within the Central Nervous System

Lichen secondary metabolites are characterized by huge pharmacological potential. Our research focused on assessing the anticancer and neuroprotective activity of <i>Hypogymnia physodes</i> acetone extract (HP extract) and physodic acid, its major component. The antitumor properties were...
