Biological Activities of Verbascoside from Pedicularis resupinata var.oppositifolia

Verbascoside의 생리활성

Verbascoside has inhibition activity on carrageenan induced edema in rat paw, enhancement of bile juice secretion, and hepatoprotective activity. The hepatoprotective functions were improved on serumtransaminase activities (s-GPT and s-GOT), liver weight, and even sleeping time in mice treated with verbascoside. In addtion, the mice toxicated with carbon tetrachloride are signiflcantly recovered by the administration of verbascoside. This is the first report shown their biological activity of verbascoside.
