Benzylacetone (4-Phenyl-2-butanone) is an aromatic compound extracted from incense wood. Benzylacetone has appetite-enhancing and exercise-reducing properties. Benzylacetone has a strong and reversible anti-mushroom tyrosinase effect, with IC50 values of 2.8 mM and 0.6 mM for monophenolase and biphenolase effects, respectively.
Erianin is a nature product extracted from Dendrobium chrysotoxum, has notable antitumour activity , can cause extensive tumour necrosis, growth delay. Erianin has antiangiogenic action by inhibiting endothelial metabolism in a JNK SAPK-dependent manner a
Dendrophenol (Moscatilin) is a natural product isolated from the stem of Dendrobium loddigesii Rolfe, act as a NF-κB inhibitor. Antineoplastic activity.
1. Dendrobine has a slight but demonstrable analgesic and antipyretic action. 2. Dendrobine produces moderate hyperglycemia, diminishes cardiac activity in large doses, lowers the blood pressure. 3. Dendrobine on the electrical activity and on amino acid-induced depolarizations of primary afferent terminals were tested on the frog isolated spinal cord.
Gigantol is a novel inhibitor of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. It inhibits Wnt/β-catenin signaling through downregulation of phosphorylated LRP6 and cytosolic β-catenin in breast cancer cells. Gigantol may be developed as a promising neuroprotective agent for successful MSC transplantation in ischemic diseases, it shows the protective effect against hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells through the PI3K/Akt pathway.Gigantol inhibits aldose reductase gene to exert its anti-cataract activity. Gigantol induces growth inhibition and apoptosis of HepG2 cells via the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway.Gigantol also shows α-glucosidase inhibitory activity.
Lusianthridin is a natural product from Dendrobium venustum. Lusianthridin exhibits anti-migratory property at nontoxic concentrations. Lusianthridin enhances c-Myc degradation through the inhibition of Src-STAT3 signaling.
Batatasin III inhibits cancer migration and invasion by suppressing epithelial to mesenchymal transition and FAK-AKT signals and possesses anti-cancer activities. Batatasin III has a long-term inhibitory effect on whole-plant growth and shows germination
