Anacamptis morio ssp. picta
Tubers are harvested in Iran for use as salep, a health drink and also considered to be super food. In Europe, Anacamptis species are protected. Although untrue, it was once believed that salep contained the greatest amount of nourishment in the smallest bulk. To protect against famine at sea, it was proposed that salep should constitute part of a ship’s provision at all times. Orchid tubers (not salep) are fed to weak children cut off from other supplies . |

What makes it medicinal- · It contains numerous stilbenoids, namely arundin and its analogues: · arundinin, isoarudinin-I, isoarundinin II; · lusianthridin, flavanthrin; flavidin; · and batatasin III. · Arundinol (a triterpenoid) and p- hydroxybenzyldehyde are also present. Some of these have not been found in other Orchids. · It also has benzyldihydrophe- nanthrene. · It also has arundinaol (7-hydroxy-1-( p-hydroxybenzyl)-2,4-dimethoxy- 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene). 5 phenanthrene were also isolated. Their properties are still under research : · orchinol or 7-hydroxy-2,4-dimethoxy-9,10- dihydrophenanthrene; · 4,7-dihydroxy-2-methoxy- 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene; · 2,7-dihydroxy-4- methoxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene; · 7-hydroxy- 2-methoxyphenanthrene-1,4-dione or densiflorol B; · and 7-hydroxy-2-methoxy-9,10-dihydrophe- nanthrene-1,4-dione. Important antitumour activity was exhibited by the first three compounds, maxi- mal in compound 3 which possesses an open bibenzyl ring: · 2,7-dihydroxy-1-( p-hydroxylbenzyl)-4- methoxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene; · 4,7-dihydro xy-1-)p-hydroxybenzyl)-2-methoxy-9,10-dihydro xyphenanthrene; · 3,30-dihydroxy-5-methoxybiben zyl; · (2E)-2-propenoic acid-3(4-hydroxy-3-metho xyphenyl)-tetracosyl ester; · (2E)-2-propenoic acid-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) pentacosyl ester; · pentadecyl acid. 4 known phenols were isolated from air-dried, powdered whole plant . · 90-dehydroxy-vladinol F, · vladinol F, · 9-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside-vladinol F · 4,9-dihydroxy-40,7-epoxy-809-dinor-8, 50-neolignan-70-oic acid (shows strong inhibition of tobacco mosaic virus ) Graminiphenols A to G were extracted.
