It is a traditional and precious Chinese medicinal herb, included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Its dried stems have the effects of nourishing the stomach and promoting the production of body fluids, nourishing yin and clearing heat. Modern research shows that it also has various pharmacological effects such as enhancing immunity, anti-tumor activity, and anti-aging.

[0003] Existing technologies disclose that *Dendrobium nobile* mainly contains compounds such as dendrobine, dendrobine ether, dendrobamine, carotene, and methylene dendrobine. Although *Dendrobium nobile* is a traditional and precious medicinal herb, compared to bulk medicinal herbs such as ginseng and astragalus, its modern systematic research on chemical components lags significantly behind.

Currently, research on the chemical components of *Dendrobium nobile* largely focuses on components with clearly defined pharmacological activities, with insufficient systematic exploration of structurally complex and functionally unknown trace components (such as special sesquiterpenes). Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new compound isolated from *Dendrobium nobile*, along with its preparation method and applications. Summary of the Invention

[0056] Pharmacological activity: Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines HepG2, Hep3B, and HuH-7 were cultured in high-glucose DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. All cells were cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator. The culture medium was replaced every 1-2 days. When cell confluence reached 80%-90%, cells were trypsinized and passaged at a ratio of 1:3-1:4, approximately every 3-4 days. All experiments were performed when cells were in good condition and in the logarithmic growth phase.

[0057] MTT assay was used to determine cell proliferation. HepG2, Hep3B, and HuH-7 cells in logarithmic growth phase were injected at a dose of 1×10⁻⁶. 5 Cells were seeded at 100 μL / well in 96-well plates, with 100 μL of cell suspension added to each well. The plates were incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24 h until complete cell adhesion. Drug treatment was then initiated. Three control groups were established: a blank control group (containing only complete culture medium, no cells), a negative control group (containing cells and complete culture medium without drug), and drug treatment groups (containing cells and culture medium with different drug concentration gradients). Each group had six replicates. The original culture medium in the 96-well plates was discarded. 100 μL of drug-free complete culture medium was added to each well of the blank and negative control groups. 100 μL of culture medium containing different concentrations (100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25 μmol / L) of drug was added to each well of the drug treatment groups. The plates were gently shaken to mix the drug, and the plates were incubated for another 48 h. Then, 10 μL of MTT (5 mg / mL) solution was added to each well, and the plates were incubated in the dark for 4 h. Carefully aspirate the supernatant, add 150 μL of DMSO to each well, shake in the dark for 10 min, and measure the absorbance (A) of each well at 570 nm using a microplate reader. Calculate the cell viability using the formula.
