Verbascoside (VB) is a phenylpropanoid isolated from Buddleja species, some of which originate in Mexico, and was first described in the sixteenth century in the codices of Mexican traditional medicine. VB is present in alcohol extracts and is widely used
Our previous study has shown that acteoside, an antioxidative phenylethanoid glycoside, protect against beta-amyloid (Aβ)-induced cytotoxicity in vitro. However, the precise protective mechanisms remains unclear. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a crucial factor in the response to oxidative injury, protecting neurons

Acteoside is a phenylpropanoid glycoside extracted from the leaves of Rehmannia glutinosa that displays various biological activities. In this study, we tested the effects of acteoside on tyrosinase activity and melanin biosynthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. We also explored molecular
Echinacoside and verbascoside possess a spectrum of significant beneficial bioactivities. A new method of preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography for rapid separation and purification of verbascoside from the leaves of Penstemon barbatus (Cav.) Roth was introduced. The solvent system employed here

Teucrium chamaedrys L. and Nepeta cataria L. (Lamiaceae) are species with traditional uses that relate to the treatment of inflammation. Extracts of both species were found to inhibit calcineurin; an important regulator of T-cell mediated inflammation that has received little
