Abstract: In this study, the effects of different stages of in vitro simulated digestion on the stability of Plantago asiatica L. seed verbascoside (PSV) were explored. It was found that the concentration of PSV in all simulated digestion systems was reduced after digestion for 4 h, and the highest reduction of (71.26 ± 0.96)% was observed in the gut bacterial culture, followed by the simulated gastrointestinal digestion system ((28.46 ± 0.50)%). After simulated digestion, xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity in various simulated digestion systems increased, in particular in the gut bacterial culture (P < 0.05), followed by the simulated gastrointestinal digestion system. The aglycone metabolites of verbascoside, caffeic acid and hydroxytyrosol, were detected from all simulated digestion systems by LC-MS. The in vitro xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of caffeic acid and hydroxytyrosol was higher than that of verbascoside. The degradation of verbascoside into xanthine oxidase inhibitory metabolites is likely to be one of the effective ways to exert its physiological activity in vivo.
