    Product Description

    Verbenalin is an iridoid glucoside that has been found in V. officinalis and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3 It inhibits the activities of COX-1 and COX-2 by 37 and 48%, respectively, when used at a concentration of 258 µM.2 Verbenalin (129 µM) inhibits proliferation of AGS gastric, SF-268 CNS, HCT116 colon, NCI H460 lung, and MCF-7 breast cancer cells. It reduces carrageenan-induced paw edema, as well as ear edema induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA; Item No. 10008014), in mice.3 Verbenalin (5 and 10 mg/kg) reduces increases in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in brain mitochondria isolated from, as well as decreases infarct volume and neurological deficits in, a rat model of ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).1
