    Galbinic Acid (α-acetylsalazinic acid) is a depsidone isolated from the lichen, Usnea undulata. The structure of galbinic acid was elucidated by Elix, Australian National University in 1975. Galbinic Acid is moderately active against Gram-positive bacteria, however its bioactivity has not been extensively investigated.
