TL;DR: In this paper, Reptanthrin and isoreptanthrin, two new dimeric phenanthrenes, were isolated from the orchid Bulbophyllum reptans which also afforded nine known stilbenoids, viz.
41 citations
TL;DR: The results suggested that the relaxant activity of the products does not involve a direct nitrergic or antihistaminergic mode of action or an interference with calcium influx into the smooth muscle cells.

TL;DR: Gymnopusin, the first naturally occurring phenanthrene derivative having a hydroxyl group at C-9, was isolated from the orchid Bulbophyllum gymnopus.

TL;DR: The functional results obtained suggest that 1 induces relaxation through an endothelium-independent pathway by the control of cationic channels (calcium channel blockade and potassium channel opening) in the myogenic response of rat aortic rings.
Abstract: The phenanthrenes gymnopusin (1), fimbriol A (2), and erianthridin (3) from Maxillaria densa were found to induce significant relaxant effects in a concentration-dependent and endothelium-independe...

TL;DR: Both phenanthrene derivatives exhibited moderate cytotoxicity to all mammalian cells tested, which precludes their use as a bioherbicide.
