Vaccaria hispanica is utilized medicinally both in China and Turkey. Phytochemical screenings demonstrated that the phytochemical diversity of V. hispanica at least includes 63 distinct metabolites, embracing triterpenoid saponins, cyclic peptides, flavonoids and others. The pharmacological studies confirmed that the crude extracts or purified compounds from the plant showed galactopoietic activity, antitumor activity, effect on the blood and vessel, antioxidant activity, ameliorative effect on osteopenia and others. The present paper is aimed to provide a critical analysis of data from scientific evaluations and aimed to find out the linkage of the medicinal uses to the scientific studies. Simultaneously, the possible future direction and perspective for investigations are discussed, as well.
