Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Lichens, symbiotic organisms, produce a diverse array of bioactive compounds, including depsides and depsidones. These compounds exhibit potent biological activities, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. This review explores the biosynthesis of specific compounds, focusing on the role of polyketide synthases and cytochrome P450 enzymes. The majority of the review will focus on the pharmacological potential of olive-toric acid and biosynthetically similar compounds, highlighting their potential as future drug leads. Further research is needed to exploit the therapeutic potential of these natural products fully.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
