Usnic acid, a lichen antibiotic, showed low-level activity in the Lewis lung carcinoma test system. In an effort to produce newagents of potential use in the treatment of lung cancer, derivatives of the natural product were synthesized and evaluated with a cytotoxicity assay. Structure--activity analysis of the cytotoxicity data indicated the importance of the lipophilicity and the beta-triketone
