Product Information

• Name: Rhizocarpic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Rhizocarpic acid is a naturally occurring organic compound that belongs to the group of polyhydroxy acids. It is a light-sensitive, acidic compound with a hydroxyl group and a multidrug efflux pump. Rhizocarpic acid has been shown to have metabolic profiles that are similar to those of other polyhydroxylated compounds and it is thought to be an intermediate in the biosynthesis of usnic acid. Rhizocarpic acid can be used as a low-light photosynthetic activator for plants, because it enhances their photosynthetic activity under conditions where light intensity is not high enough for photosynthesis. The FT-IR spectroscopy data indicates that rhizocarpic acid has three carbonyl groups in its structure and these groups are responsible for its acidic nature.
