European Pharmacopoeia 5th ed. 2005 (5.1) and the current European Pharmacopoeia 7th edition 2011 (7.0) (01/2008:1835 corrected 6.0)
White Horehound – Marrubii herba. The definition of Marrubii herba is “Whole or fragmented dried flowering aerial plants of Marrubium vulgare L. Content: minimum 0.7% marrubiin (C20H20O4; M: 332.4) (dried drug).”
The HMPC monograph concerns only Marrubium vulgare L.
Principal constituents of the herbal substance
According to Blaschek et al. (2006) the principal constituents of the herbal substance are:
−traces of essential oil (0.05-0.06%) with monoterpenes such as camphene, p-cymol, fenchene, lomonene, α-pinene, sabinene, and α-terpinolene
−diterpenes of labdane-type with marrubiin (0.12-1%) and its precursor pre-marrubiin (0.13%), marrubenol, a labdane-hemiacetale, marrubiol, peregrinol and vulgarol
−tannins (up to 7%) and hydroxylcynamic acid-derivates, e. g. acteoside, chorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 1-caffeoylquinic acid and cryptochlorogenic acid, but no rosmarinic acid. Acteoside is used as qualitative marker.
−flavonoids: flavone and flavonol glycosides and their respective aglycones (e.g. apigenin, luteolin, quercetin, chrysoeriol, vicenin II, vitexin) lactoylflavones, luteolin-7-lactate, apigenin- 7-lactate
−nitrogen-containing compounds: 0.2% choline and 0.3% betonicine
−minerals, in particular potassium salts
For the bitter taste the furanic labdane dipertene marrubiin is responsible. Up to 4 mg of furanic labdane deterpenes per g fresh weight were found, most in young leaves and buds. Depending on the vegetation period or the extracting conditions, the extracts contain marrubiin, pre-marrubenol or marrubenolacetat (Knöss & Zapp, 1998; Knöss, 2006). According to the European Pharmacopoeia 7th edition 2011, the marrubiin content of the crude drug should be at least 0.7%.
Herbal preparation(s)
Information about products on the market in the Member States
According to the information provided by the National Competent Authorities in the overview of the marketed products, the following herbal substances have been on the European market:
Herbal preparations which have been reported to be marketed under well-established use:
−expressed juice from fresh Marrubii herba (1:0.70-0.90)
Herbal preparations which have been reported to be marketed under traditional use:
−liquid extract from Marrubii herba (DER 1:0.9-1.1), extraction solvent: ethanol 30% V/V
−powdered herbal substance
posology: 3 times daily 1-2 capsules

In the German-speaking areas, Marrubii herba is traditionally used especially in context of a bitter remedy and, in the Anglo-American and in the Mediterranean language areas, in context of respiratory disorders (Knöss, 2006). According to the PDR for herbal medicines (1998), folk uses of Marrubium vulgare are internally for acute and chronic bronchitis, whooping cough, asthma, tuberculosis, pulmonary catarrh, respiratory infections, diarrhoea, jaundice, debility, painful menstruation, and as a laxative in higher doses; externally for skin damage, ulcers and wounds.

Literature reports suggest that Marrubium vulgare, herba is traditionally used also in a number of countries outside of Europe. Haq et al. (2010) describe the use for cough, catarrh, emetic, hysteria, rheumatism in Pakistan. De Souza et al. (1998), de Oliveira et al. (2011) and Meyre-Silva et al. (2005) report on the traditional use to treat inflammation, gastrointestinal disorders and respiratory diseases in Brazil. In Tunisian folk medicine, Horehound was used as hypotensive, hypoglycaemic and cardiotonic (Kadri et al., 2011). Pages et Comte (1927) describe the traditional use of Horehound as antiarrythmic in France. Kanyonga et al. (2011) report a frequent use in folk medicine in the Mediterranean North Africa (Morocco).

Mechanism of Action

Pharmacology:

  • Constituents: The medicinally used parts of white horehound (Marrubium vulgare L.) are the dried leaves and flowering tops. Processed white horehound contains 0.3-1% of the bitter principle marrubiin, diterpene alcohols, alkaloids, bitter lactone, flavonoids, saponin, sterols, tannins, and vitamin C, and 0.06% of a volatile oil.9,10,11,12 The volatile oil of Marrubium vulgare also contains monoterpenes.13 Marrubiin does not exist in the fresh plant but is formed from premarrubiin during processing.14,7. White horehound also contains glycosides8,15,16 Phenylpropanoid glycosides such as acteoside 1, forsythoside B 2, arenarioside 3, and ballotetroside 4 have been isolated from the aerial parts of Marrubium vulgare L.17 White horehound may also contain phytoestrogenic chemicals. Although the chemical aspects of various compounds of white horehound have been documented, the pharmacologically active constituents remain to be determined.
  • Analgesic/antispasmodic effectsIn vivo models of pain in mice report significant analgesic activity of the hydroalcoholic extract of Marrubium vulgare, and antinociceptive effects as well as an anti-inflammatory effects of marrubiin.6 A hydroalcoholic extract of Marrubium vulgare has also been shown to exhibit antispasmodic and antinociceptive effects in animals.7 The exact mechanisms remain to be determined but appear not to involve the inhibition of cyclooxygenase or opioid receptors. Based on animal study, nociceptive action is not reversed by naloxone.7 An in vitro study of white horehound demonstrated noncompetitive antagonism and a concentration-dependent manner of muscle contractions induced by several agonists of smooth muscle tissue.18
  • Biliary effects: Animal research from 1959 suggests that marrubinic acid may stimulate bile secretion.5
  • Cardiovascular effects: Hypotensive activity has been ascribed to the herb based on animal data.3 Pharmacologically, white horehound (Marrubium vulgare) may exert hypotensive action through vascular relaxation3 or vasodilation13. Theoretically, white horehound may have aldosterone-enhancing properties. Phenylpropanoid glycosides such as acteoside 1, forsythoside B 2, arenarioside 3, and ballotetroside 4 (which can be isolated from the aerial parts of Marrubium vulgare L.) have been implicated as the active constituents involved in inhibition of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation.17
  • Central nervous system effectsIn vitro research demonstrates that the aqueous extract of white horehound exhibits an antagonistic effect on serotonin1
  • Expectorant effects: Monoterpenes from the volatile oil of Marrubium vulgare have exhibited expectorant activity13, which may result from direct stimulation of bronchial mucosal secretions.
  • Endocrine effects: White horehound significantly decreased hyperglycemia in rabbits compared to control (water ingestion).2 In a human trial, white horehound decreased blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes.4 In anecdotal reports, white horehound has been noted to possess aldosterone-enhancing properties.
  • Hematological effects: In patients with type 2 diabetes treated with Marrubium vulgare, cholesterol and triglyceride levels were lowered by 4.16% and 5.78%, respectively.4 The exact mechanism of action is unclear.

 

Pharmacodynamics/Kinetics:

  • White horehound administered to mice had a maximum duration of action for analgesia of four hours.6
  • The LD50 of oral marrubiin has been reported as 370mg/kg in an animal model.5
