Abstract:
Due to the complex chemical compositions and various types, alkaloids are widely existed in various genera of Orchidaceae plants. Most of the alkaloids have anti-inflammatory, antitumor, hyperglycemic, cytotoxic and other biological activities. In this paper, the distribution, types, structures, and pharmacological action of alkaloids in Orchidaceae plants were reviewed, which provides a theoretical reference for the structure type, structure analysis, and biological activity of alkaloids in Orchidaceae plants.
