Research Progress on Chemical Constituents and Pharmacological Effects of Dendrobium primula
Dendrobium primulinum Lindl is a perennial epiphyte of Dendrobium.Its beautiful appearance and pleasant aroma are of great ornamental value.The applications of Dendrobium primulinum primrose originated from Dai traditional medicine,which has effects of reducing swelling and pain,clearing heat and removing dampness,killing insects and relieving itch,and replenishing soil and water.At present,it has been determined that Dendrobium primbium contains alkaloids,bibenzylates,phenanthrene,flavonoids,phenylpropanoids and other types of chemical components,with a variety of pharmacological effects:anti-cancer,antibacterial,anti-inflammatory,anti-diabetes,liver protection.In this paper,it will make a summary to provide theoretical supports for the follow-up research.
