Description

The methanol extract of D. plicatile has been shown to scavenge the superoxide anion radical ·O2−.[2] Flower extracts from the closely related species Dendrobium officinale have also been proven to reduce fatty liver disease, oxidative stress, and inflammation, protecting against alcohol-induced liver injury.[3]

From the stems, three phenanthrenes can be isolated, named plicatol A, B and C.[4]

The plant also contains the norditerpenoids named flickinflimilins A and B and steroids.[5]
