The genus Lindera consists of approximately 100 species, and is a member of the Litseeae tribe of the Lauraceae family. Many Lindera species have been used in traditional medicine for their healing and curing capabilities for several health-related implications, such as pain, cold, urinary tract disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, gastric ulcer, abdominal pain, and cholera. The Lindera genus is widely distributed all over the world, particularly in the tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions of Asia and midwestern America [2]. This extensive geographical distribution allows Lindera species to produce diverse secondary metabolites with novel structures. Phytochemical investigations have shown that Lindera plants produce various constituents, including sesquiterpenoids, alkaloids, butanolides, lucidones, flavonoids, and phenylpropanoids. Studies have shown that Lindera genus plants possess anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, and analgesic properties.
