Abstract

Seven stilbenes and one alkylresorcinol were isolated from the orchid Phragmipedium calurum during a screen for anticancer compounds. They were evaluated for antiproliferative activity against multiple human cancer cell lines, and two displayed moderate activity against several cell lines.
