Ornithogale en ombelle

Ornithogalum umbellatum

Ornithogalum umbellatum, commonly known as Star of Bethlehem or Milky Way, is a bulbous plant native to southern Europe and western Asia. While traditionally used in folk medicine for various conditions, no specific traditional uses have been recorded for this particular species. Scientific evidence suggests a strong positive relationship between chromosome size and kinetochore size in related species like Ornithogalum kochii, which supports scaling even with modest intra-karyotype variation. However, heat treatment significantly reduces the phenolic compound levels and biological activities of O. umbellatum extracts. Research indicates that lipotubuloids from this plant contain hyperstable microtubules resistant to depolymerization, and a preparation called Ornithogalum umbellatum-6C showed significant improvement in biochemical parameters and histopathology in indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in rats. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for O. umbellatum.
