Phytochemical Characterization and Pharmacological Properties of Lichen Extracts from Cetrarioid Clade by Multivariate Analysis and Molecular Docking

Figure 3

Reduction of multidimensional variables by principal component analysis (PCA) for fourteen different lichen species from cetrarioid clade. PCA allowed for the detection of similarities between samples and for establishing the main association between the variables. (a) PCA scores plot. (b) Loading plot. AA (Allocetraria ambigua), AS (Asahinea scholanderi), CCO (Cetraria commixta), CCR (Cetraria crespoae), CCU (Cetraria cucullata), CE (Cetraria ericetorum), CN (Cetraria nivalis), DA (Dactylina arctica), NL (Nephromopsis laureri), NP (Nephromopsis pallescens), NS (Nephromopsis stracheyi), TAH (Tuckneraria ahtii), TAM (Tuckermannopsis americana), and VP (Vulpicida pinastri).
