Wollastonia biflora

Wollastonia biflora is a plant traditionally not associated with any known medicinal practices. Scientific research has identified several bioactive compounds in Wollastonia biflora, including three new germacrane-type sesquiterpenes, two new pimarane-type diterpenes, and a novel naphthalene derivative, some of which have shown significant cytotoxic activity against hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Additionally, the plant's leaves contain S-methylmethionine (SMM), which is converted to dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) via an unusual transamination reaction rather than simple deamination; this compound plays a role in sulfur transport and osmotic control. While no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded, the limited scientific evidence means that further research is necessary to fully understand its potential applications and risks.
