Studies on Orchidaceae Alkaloids. XX. The Constitution and Relative Configuration of Crepidine, an Alkaloid from Dendrobium crepidatum Lindl.

Metabolic Profiling of Dendrobium officinale in Response to Precursors and Methyl Jasmonate

“…With respect to quinolizidine alkaloids (luciduline) and piperidine alkaloids (anapheline, carpaine and pelletierine), their structures contained piperidine backbones that originated from lysine ( Figure 8 ). The biosynthetic pathway of indolizidine alkaloids in Dendrobium crepidatum has already been studied [ 27 ]. Other types of alkaloids, including tropane alkaloids [ 28 ], pyrrolizidine alkaloids [ 29 ], and isoquinoline alkaloids [ 30 ] as well as their biosynthetic pathways have been reported in other plants.…”

In vitro antioxidant activities of a water-soluble polysaccharide derived from Dendrobium nobile Lindl. extracts

“…Among the Dendrobium genus, most studies have focused on the bioactivity and structural types of some small molecules, such as bibenzyl, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluorene, coumarin, flavone, cinnamate, sesquiterpene, sterol, fatty acid, and alkaloids [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. However, the polysaccharide constituents were much less investigated.…”

New Alloaromadendrane, Cadinene and Cyclocopacamphane Type Sesquiterpene Derivatives and Bibenzyls from Dendrobium nobile

“…There are 63 species of Dendrobium found in China. Those Dendrobium species studied to date mainly contain alkaloids [1], [2], bibenzyls [3], phenanthrenes [4], fluorenones [5], sesquiterpenes [6], coumarins [7], steroids [8] and polysaccharides [9]. The stem of Dendrobium nobile Lindl (Chinese name ªJin-Chai-Shi-Huº) is a famous traditional Chinese medicine used as tonic.…”
