“…Previous studies revealed that B. striata mainly contained compounds such as bibenzyls, dihydrophenanthrenes, biphenanthrenes, phenanthrenes, triterpenoids and its saponin, steroids and its saponins, cyanidin glycosides, phenanthraquinones, anthraquinones, lignans, organic acids, glucosyloxybenzyl 2-isobutylmalates, polysaccharides, and so on 7,8 So far, most of the studies have suggested that bibenzyls, dihydrophenanthrenes, biphenanthrenes, and polysaccharides were the main active substances. 4,9 Figure 1 shows the chemical skeleton structures of bibenzyls, dihydrophenanthrenes, and biphenanthrenes. One or more of these compounds can be used as a classification and quality evaluation of B. striata.…”
