General description
Verbascoside, also known as acteoside, is a hydrophilic plant compound first isolated from mullein (Verbascum sinuatum L.). The chemical structure of verbascoside comprises hydroxyphenylethyl and cinnamic acid moieties bound to a β-glucopyranose via a glycosidic bond.
Application
Verbascoside has been used:
- as a reference standard for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis
- as a reference standard for detection of phenolic compounds in olive mill wastewater and pomace by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-diode-array detector (DAD)-qTOF system
- to test its anti-viral activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in HEP2 cells and A549 cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
Verbascoside has anti-inflammatory and photoprotective properties. It has shown neuroprotective effects on PC12 neuronal cells against neurotoxicity. Verbascoside is proven to be a potent inhibitor of xanthine oxidase (XOD) in in vitro studies.
Phenylethanoid glycoside. Antioxidant and antiproliferative.
