Increasing helminth drug resistance necessitates novel anthelmintic agents. Lichens, historically used to treat parasitic infections, represent a promising natural resource. This study evaluated eight lichen extracts and 17 metabolites against the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans (wild-type strain N2). Extracts of...
