Recent studies
of seven compounds that were isolated from the Lippia species have
confirmed the very high anti-Cryptococcus neoformans activities of
verbascoside, which the authors interpreted to be promising for new
selective anti-fungal verbascoside-containing drugs (Funari et al.,
2012). The combination of anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and antiandrogen
effects of pure verbascoside and plant extracts with their
high concentrations (Camellia sinensis and Commiphora mukul) show
promise in the development of pharmacological treatments for acne
vulgaris (Azimi et al., 2012).
