Biological activity

Verbascoside has an antimicrobial activity,[8] notably against Staphylococcus aureus.[9] It can also have anti-inflammatory properties.[7]

Although some in vitro genotoxicity of verbascoside has been reported on human lymphocytes with an involvement of PARP-1 and p53 proteins,[18] subsequent in vivo tests reported no genotoxicity for high dosage oral administration.[19] It is a protein kinase C inhibitor.[12]
