Research progress on chemical constituents in plants of Gypsophila L. and their pharmacological activities / 中草药

ABSTRACT

The plants in Gypsophila L. mainly contain chemical constituents, such as flavonoids, cyclic peptides, sterols, volatile oil, triterpenoid saponins, and other compounds which possess antitumor, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic activity, hepatoprotective activity, anti-oxidation, and so on. On the basis of the retrieval of relevant literature, this paper summarizes the progress on resources, chemical composition, pharmacological action, and clinical application of the plants in Gypsophila L., and provides the references for the further study and development of the plants in Gypsophila L.
