Gypsogenin (L(1); 3-hydroxy-23-oxoolean-12-en-28-oic acid), a natural saponin, was isolated from the boiling water extract of Gypsophila arrostii roots. In addition, the derivatives gypsogenin thiosemicarbazone (L(2); 23-[(aminocarbonothioyl)hydrazono]-3-hydroxolean-12-en-28-oic acid) and gypsogenin

Tumor-targeting protein toxins are composed of a toxic enzyme coupled to a specific cell binding domain that targets cancer-associated antigens. The anti-tumor treatment by targeted toxins is accompanied by dose-limiting side effects. The future prospects of targeted toxins for therapeutic use in

Oldhamianoside II is a novel triterpenoidsaponin that can be isolated from the roots of Gypsophila oldhamiana. In vitro and in vivo experiments have revealed that it inhibits tumor growth and metastasis in various types of tumor; however, the exact mechanism remains to be fully elucidated. In the

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are enzymes with N-glycosylase activity that remove adenine bases from the ribosomal RNA. In theory, one single RIP molecule internalized into a cell is sufficient to induce cell death. For this reason, RIPs are of high potential as toxic payload for anti-tumor

BACKGROUND Gypsophila elegans has been used as a traditional herbal medicine for treating immune disorders and chronic liver diseases in China. The aim of this study is to isolate an active ingredient from this herb and investigate its anti-tumor activity. METHODS An active ingredient was isolated

The roots of Gypsophila oldhamiana are rich in triterpenoid saponins with antitumor properties. Although previous reports have revealed the anticancer potency of some Gypsophila species, the underlying molecular mechanisms of this activity have not been studied in detail. The purpose of the present

Saponinum album (Merck), which is a crude mixture of saponins from Gypsophila paniculata L., was shown to improve the anti cancer therapy when used in vivo in combination with saporin-based targeted toxins. Unfortunately saponinum album cannot be used for further development since Merck has ceased

OBJECTIVE Certain saponins synergize with antitumour drugs to enhance their efficacy, but the mechanisms underlying this synergy in vivo are not well studied. Here, we describe the distribution of Saponinum album (Spn) from Gypsophila paniculata L. in mice after subcutaneous injection. METHODS The

The phenolic contents and antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic, and anticholinergic potentials of four endemic Gysophila taxa (G. pallida, G. arrosti, G. tuberculosa, and G. eriocalyx) were investigated. The HPLC analysis showed that methanol extracts of all the tested species were richer in

Treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is currently based on surgery and radiotherapy. Prolongation of the survival time of patients with progressing tumors is infrequently achieved. To improve the therapeutic options, targeted therapies are a favorable alternative. Therefore, we analyzed

BACKGROUND Saponins have been reported to possess antitumor properties, to inhibit angiogenesis and to induce tumor apoptosis. OBJECTIVE To test the possible cytotoxic effect of crude extracts from four Caryophyllaceae species including Gypsophila paniculata L., Gypsophila trichotoma Wend.,
