Manchurian baby's-breath
Gypsophila oldhamiana
Gypsophila oldhamiana is a plant traditionally used in few documented practices. Scientific studies have shown that extracts from this plant can reduce acute Toxoplasma gondii infection in mice by modulating the DC-IL-12-CD8⁺ T cell axis, indicating potential immunomodulatory effects. Additionally, research has identified oldhamianoside II, which inhibits prostate cancer progression by reversing epithelial-mesenchymal transition and regulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Two new triterpenoids were also found in the roots of Gypsophila oldhamiana, showing some antiangiogenic activity. The complete chloroplast genome has been sequenced, providing insights into its genetic structure and phylogenetic relationships. No major safety concerns or known drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
