Dendrobium capillipes Rchb. f.
Chinese name: Duanbang Shihu It is distributed from Nepal and Northeast India to Yunnan, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia Phytochemistry: Scoparone (6,7-dimetho xycoumarine) which is present in D. capillipes has vasodilatory effects on the rat aorta. Dendrobium capillipes Rchb. f., commonly known as "Duanbang Shihu" in Chinese, is a captivating orchid species known for its unique scent and diverse herbal properties. This orchid is distributed across various regions, ranging from Nepal and Northeast India to Yunnan, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. The fragrance of Dendrobium capillipes is influenced by its phytochemistry, particularly the presence of Scoparone, a compound known for its distinct aroma. Scoparone is a 6,7-dimethoxycoumarine compound that contributes to the orchid's alluring scent. This aromatic compound has been found to have vasodilatory effects on the rat aorta, which means it can help relax and widen blood vessels, potentially offering therapeutic benefits related to cardiovascular health. Beyond its olfactory appeal, Dendrobium capillipes has also been the subject of scientific interest due to its medicinal properties. Phytohaemagglutinin, found in this orchid, stimulates white blood cells to rapidly replicate. This property is often utilized in laboratory settings for chromosomal analysis and immune system research. Moreover, Scoparone exhibits the ability to suppress the response of human mononuclear cells, providing potential applications in immune-modulatory therapies. Additionally, studies have shown that Scoparone stimulates dopamine biosynthesis by PC12 cells, which are nerve cells derived from a pheochromocytoma tumor in the rat adrenal medulla. This stimulation of dopamine production is particularly relevant as dopamine is a crucial chemical messenger in the brain. The loss of dopamine-secreting cells in the brain has been linked to the development of Parkinson's disease, making Scoparone's neuroprotective potential an intriguing avenue for further research and potential therapeutic use. In traditional herbal usage, Dendrobium capillipes is utilized as "shihu." Its herbal applications may include various medicinal purposes, such as promoting general well-being, supporting immune function, and potentially aiding in neurological health due to its influence on dopamine biosynthesis. The aromatic allure and pharmacological properties of Dendrobium capillipes make it a remarkable orchid species with both scientific and traditional significance. Its unique scent, coupled with its potential therapeutic benefits, adds to its appeal and highlights its importance as a valuable and multifaceted botanical resource. Further research into its phytochemistry and potential medicinal applications could lead to valuable insights and the development of new therapies in the field of medicine and perfumery. |
