“…Differences in the presence of phytochemical substances in root extracts may be related to the compound's solubility in the solvent used (Bako et al, 2005). The results of this study are consistent with those of several previous investigations that have also identified alkaloids, carbohydrates, coumarins, flavonoids, phenols, steroids, tannins, and terpenoids in a variety of orchid species, including Acampe praemorsa (Suja & Williams, 2016), Aerides odorata (Katta et al, 2019), Cymbidium aloifolium (Shubha & Chowdappa, 2016), Luisia zeylanica (Sohag et al, 2017) and Vanda tessellata (Biswas & Sinha, 2020).…”

Rhynchostylis retusa (Orchidaceae) is an important ethnomedicinal herb in Indian systems of medicine. Tribal healers commonly employ the roots of this epiphytic orchid to treat various ailments. In the present study, the shade-dried root powder of R. retusa was subjected to cold extraction with four solvents, such as n-hexane, acetone, ethyl acetate, and methanol. The crude root extracts were then taken for qualitative phytochemical screening. Furthermore, GC-MS analysis of ethyl acetate and methanol root extracts was carried out. The methanol root extract of R. retusa showed a positive result for all the phytochemicals tested except for saponins. GC-MS analysis of R. retusa methanol root extract revealed the presence of 16 phytoconstituents. Major phytoconstituents such as 9-Hexadecenoic acid, methyl ester, [Z] Heptadecanoic acid, 16-methyl-, methyl ester, Ethanone,1-[4-(4-morpholyl benzylidene amino)phenyl]-, are recorded in the methanol root extract. In the present study, both methanol and ethyl acetate root extracts showed the presence of9-Hexadecenoic acid, methyl ester, [Z] as the major phytocompound. The phytocompounds identified in methanol and ethyl acetate root extracts exhibit various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Based on the findings of the current study, it can be inferred that the roots of R. retusa contain diverse bioactive compounds with medicinal properties. Further investigation of these R. retusa root extracts holds the potential for the discovery and development of innovative pharmaceuticals.

Orchids form a symbiotic relationship with endophytic fungi throughout their life cycle, including their seed germination. Research on orchid endophytic fungi in Indonesia is still limited. This study aimed to isolate and identify endophytic fungi of Phalaenopsis amabilis, Dipodium brevilabium, Vanilla planifolia, and Aerides odorata orchids. Endophytic fungi were isolated from surface-sterilized orchid root pelotons. Fungal identification was based on morphological and molecular characteristics using ITS rDNA sequences, followed by BLAST and phylogenetic tree analysis. All orchids studied had peloton structures in root cortex tissues. From the four orchids studied, 22 fungal isolates were obtained. Five fungal isolates were obtained from the P. amabilis orchid, consisting of 1 Penicillium and 4 sterile mycelium isolates. The D. brevilabium had 7 fungal isolates, namely 1 Penicillium and 6 Fusarium isolates. The V. planifolia had 6 Fusarium isolates, whereas the A. odorata had 4 isolates, such as 1 Penicillium, 2 sterile mycelium, and 1 unidentified isolate. The genus Penicillium was found in 3 out of the 4 orchid species studied. One Penicillium isolate was molecularly identified as Penicillium citrinum. Endophytic fungi in P. amabilis were mostly sterile mycelium, while D. brevilabium, V. planifolia, and A. odorata were dominated by Fusarium.

“…Other orchid extracts that are effective against breast cancer (MCF-7) are those from Eulophia nuda tubers [141], leaves of Aerides odorata [142], and leaves of Vanilla [143]. It is hypothesized that the cytotoxic activity is related to the synergistic action of the phytoconstituents present in these species [141].…”

Species of orchids, which belong to the largest family of flowering plants, are commonly used in folk medicine for the treatment of infections and tumors. However, little is known about the actual chemical composition of these plants and their anticancer properties. In this paper, the most recent literature on orchid-derived bioactive substances with anticancer properties is reviewed. For the assessment, previous papers on the anticancer activity of Orchidaceae published since 2015 were considered. The papers were found by exploring electronic databases. According to the available data, many species of orchids contain potential antitumor chemicals. The bioactive substances in a relatively insignificant number of orchids are identified, and most studies are on Asian taxa. Broader research on American and African species and the correct identification of samples included in the experiments are essential for evaluating the usefulness of orchids as a plant family with vast anticancer potential.
