In this study, we analyzed the inhibitory effect of verbascoside against xanthine oxidase (XOD) in vitro by using animal model and in vivo by direct inhibition assay. Results showed that verbascoside could reduce uric acid in rat serum and inhibit XOD activity in rat liver. The IC value of restraining XOD activity was 81.11mgmL. Fluorescence chromatographic analysis and circular dichroism spectroscopy indicated that the secondary structures of XOD were changed after incubation with verbascoside. The docking simulation showed that verbascoside could enter into the active site of XOD and form hydrogen bonding with amino acid residues (such as Lys-1045, Arg-880, Arg-912, Glu-1261 and Gln-1194). The results suggested that verbascoside, which is a naturally occurring water-soluble antioxidant, could be a potential low-toxicity XOD inhibitor for hyperuricemia treatment.

Herbal teas are used in South Africa as digestives to lower glycaemia and for other indications. However, the chemical composition of the infusions and their effect on enzymes related to metabolic syndrome is poorly known. The composition of infusions and methanol extracts of (Scrophulariaceae), , , and (Verbenaceae) was assessed and the effect of the infusions and extract was determined towards α-glucosidase, α-amylase, and pancreatic lipase.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate whether the plant species Stachys byzantina produces bioactives with the potential to delay the skin ageing process and treat hyperpigmentation conditions.
Methods: The antioxidant action was assessed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazylradical scavenging, Griess reaction, oxygen radical absorption capacity, and β-carotene bleaching assays. Inhibitory activities for tyrosinase, hyaluronidase, and elastase enzymes were tested.

Three new neoclerodane diterpenoids (1-3), two new steroids (4-5), one new monoterpene (6), one new derivative of benzaldehyde (7) and one new iridoid glycoside (8), along with 19 known phenolic compounds, were isolated from Clerodendrum trichotomum. Their structures were established by a combination of detailed spectroscopic analyses (1D and 2D NMR) and high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HRESIMS). The isolated compounds were screened on α-glucosidase inhibitory and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) agonist activities, and the results showed that three phenylethanoid glycosides, verbascoside (9), leucosceptoside a (10), and isoacteoside (13), and two flavonoids, apigenin (22) and luteolin (26) showed potent inhibitory effects against α-glucosidase, with IC values in the range from 15 to 700 μM.
