Abstract
Fifteen bibenyls and four fluorenones, including five new bibenzyl-phenylpropane hybrids, were isolated from the aerial part of Dendrobium nobile Lindl. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. Bioassay on the LPS-induced proliferations of mouse splenic B lymphocytes, and Con A-induced T lymphocytes showed that compounds 1, 2, and 14 showed excellent immunosuppressive activities with IC50 values of 1.23, 1.01, and 3.87 μM, respectively, while compounds 3-4, 7, 10, 13, and 15 exhibited moderate immunosuppressive activities with IC50 values ranging from 6.89 to 14.2 μM.

Abstract
Three new sesquiterpenoids, dendrohercoglin A - C (1-3), and one new bibenzyl derivative, dendronbiline D (4), together with nine known sesquiterpenoids (5-13) were isolated from Dendrobium hercoglossum. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis as well as NMR and ECD calculations. All the compounds were evaluated for their neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory activities. Compounds 2 and 3 increased the H2O2-damaged SH-SY5Y cell viabilities from 43.3% to 58.6% and 68.4%, respectively. Compound 4 exhibited pronounced anti-inflammatory activity with IC50 value of 9.5 ± 0.45 μM which was superior to the reference compound quercetin (IC50: 15.7 ± 0.89 μM).

Abstract
Dendrobium is the second biggest genus in the Orchidaceae family, and many of them have been utilized as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for thousands of years in China. In the last few decades, constituents with great chemical diversity were isolated from Dendrobium, and a wide range of biological activities were detected, either for crude extracts or for pure compounds. Stilbene compound is one of the primary active constituents in the genus Dendrobium. At present, 267 stilbene compounds with clarified molecular structures have been extracted and isolated from 52 species of Dendrobium, including 124 phenanthrenes and 143 bibenzyls. At the same time, activity studies have indicated that 157 compounds have pharmaceutical activity. Among them, most of the compounds showed antitumor activity, followed by antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Additionally, 54 compounds have multiple pharmacological activities, such as confusarin (14), 2,4,7-trihydroxy-9,10-dihydro-phenanthrene (43), moscatilin (148), gigantol (150) and batatasin III (151). This review summarizes current knowledge about the chemical composition of stilbene, bioactivities and pharmacologic effects in 52 species of Dendrobium. We also expect to provide a reference for further research, development and utilization of stilbene constituents in the Dendrobium genus.

Abstract
Natural products possess structural complexity, diversity and chirality with attractive functions and biological activities that have significantly impacted drug discovery initiatives. Chiral natural products are abundant in nature but rarely occur as racemates. The occurrence of natural products as racemates is very intriguing from a biosynthetic point of view; as enzymes are chiral molecules, enzymatic reactions generating natural products should be stereospecific and lead to single-enantiomer products. Despite several reports in the literature describing racemic mixtures of stereoisomers isolated from natural sources, there has not been a comprehensive review of these intriguing racemic natural products. The discovery of many more natural racemates and their potential enzymatic sources in recent years allows us to describe the distribution and chemical diversity of this ‘class of natural products’ to enrich discussions on biosynthesis. In this Review, we describe the chemical classes, occurrence and distribution of pairs of enantiomers in nature and provide insights about recent advances in analytical methods used for their characterization. Special emphasis is on the biosynthesis, including plausible enzymatic and non-enzymatic formation of natural racemates, and their pharmacological significance. ![]()
Racemic natural products display a wealth of bioactivities and chemical diversity. Their derivation from intriguing racemization processes, through enzymatic or non-enzymatic pathways, are discussed here, as well as their pharmacological properties and the analytical techniques developed for their identification, resolution and characterization.

Abstract
The cultivation medium of Dendrobium nobile has an effect on the contents of its main medicinal components, but the specific mechanism is still unclear. In this study, the callus, seedlings, rhizomes, and leaves of D. nobile were sequenced for the PacBio SMRT. The 2-year-old stems were selected for the Illumina sequencing and metabolome sequencing to analyze the genetic mechanism of metabolic differences under different epiphytic patterns. As a result, a total of 387 differential genes were obtained, corresponding to 66 differential metabolites. Different epiphytic patterns can induce a series of metabolic changes at the metabolome and transcriptome levels of D. nobile, including flavonoid metabolism, purine metabolism, terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, amino acid metabolism, and alpha-linolenic acid metabolic, and related regulatory genes include ALDH2B7, ADC, EPSPS-1, SHKA, DHAPS-1, GES, ACS1, SAHH, ACS2, CHLP, LOX2, LOX2.3, and CYP74B2. The results showed that the genetic mechanism of D. nobile under various epiphytic patterns was different. In theory, the content of metabolites under the epiphytic patterns of Danxia stone is higher, which is more suitable for field cultivation.

Abstract
Six dendrobine-type alkaloids were isolated from the tubes of Dendrobium nobile by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 gel column chromatography, and preparative HPLC. Compound 1 is a new alkaloid containing a pair of amide tautomers, whereas compound 2 is a new dendrobine-type alkaloid. By using spectroscopic techniques including 1 D and 2 D NMR, the structures of compounds 1‒6 were identified as N-methoxylcarbonyldendrobine (1), dendronboic acid (2), dendrobine (3), 6-hydroxyldendrobine (4), dendrobine N-oxide (5), and denrine (6). The cytotoxic effects of the isolated compounds on two human tumour cell lines (HCT-116 and SW1990) were evaluated using MTT assay.
