Abstract
A new phenanthrene dimer, namely dendropalpebrone (1), was isolated from the whole plant of Dendrobium palpebre, along with nine known compounds (2–10). All of the isolates were evaluated for their hydroxyl radical scavenging effects using a deoxyribose assay. Dendroflorin (10) showed an appreciable activity, and therefore was selected for further studied in RAW264.7 cells. Compound 10 significantly decreased ROS in H2O2-stimulated RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and improved activity of SOD, GPx, and CAT enzymes.
