Abstract

The genus Verbascum (Scrophulariaceae) is represented by 228 species, of which 185 are endemic in the flora of Turkey and East Aegean Islands [1]. Verbascum species contain biologically active compounds, such as flavonoids, phenylethanoid and neolignan glycosides, saponins, and iridoid and monoterpene glycosides [2]. The leaves and flowers of Verbascum are reported to have expectorant, mucolytic and demulcent properties, and are used to treat respiratory disorders such as bronchitis, dry coughs, tuberculosis and asthma in traditional Turkish medicine [3].
