Abstract
Lichen-derived organic acids such as vulpinic acid and usnic acid have been found to be effective inhibitors of eukaryotic protein kinase activity. Thus, eukaryotic protein kinase activity present in a sample or organism can be inhibited by adding to the sample or organism an effective inhibitory amount of a lichen-derived organic acid.
