The methanolic extract of cultured lichen U. ghattensis showed good antioxidant activity by preventing lipid peroxidation by 67% and 86% in Trolox-equivalent antioxidant capacity at 20 μg/ml. It also showed superoxide, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, nitric oxide, and hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity, 89%, 89.6%, 94.8%, and 89.6%, respectively, and found levels higher
