Dendrolobium triangulare
Dendrolobium triangulare
Dendrolobium triangulare is a plant found in certain wildlife sanctuaries in Thailand, such as Salakphra Wildlife Sanctuary and Khao Kiew-Khao Chompoo Wildlife Sanctuary. While there are no traditional uses recorded for this plant, studies have shown that it hosts nodule-inhabiting Paenibacillus strains with diverse antifungal activities and potential benefits for plant growth promotion. Additionally, thirteen compounds were identified from Dendrolobium triangulare, including one novel azo-type compound that demonstrated better protection against PC12 cell damage compared to Vitamin E. The plant has been reclassified as Hylodesmum menglaense based on morphological and molecular evidence. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for Dendrolobium triangulare, but further research is needed to fully understand its potential applications and effects.
