Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Verbascoside is a phenylethanoid glycoside found in various medicinal plants such as Verbascum, Plantago, and Lippia species. Its use for bacterial infections is primarily supported by in vitro and some in vivo scientific studies rather than strong traditional usage. Several research articles have demonstrated that verbascoside possesses notable antibacterial activity against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The proposed mechanisms include disruption of bacterial membranes, inhibition of protein synthesis, and antioxidant properties that may indirectly affect bacterial survival.

Despite these promising laboratory results, clinical evidence in humans is very limited or absent. Most of the available data are preclinical and do not provide direct proof of efficacy in treating infections in humans. There is also no substantial documentation of verbascoside being traditionally used specifically for treating bacterial infections, although plants containing verbascoside have been used in folk medicine for various ailments. In summary, while verbascoside has shown antibacterial effects in scientific studies, the evidence is preliminary, and more rigorous clinical trials are necessary to fully validate its use for bacterial infections.
