Carnosol
Carnosol is a naturally occurring phenolic diterpene found in rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis, Labiatae). It has been known that an extract of rosemary leaves contains high antioxidative activity. Ninety percent of this antioxidative activity can be attributed to carnosol and carnosic acid. Carnosic acid is easily converted to carnosol by oxidation. Carnosol has multiple beneficial medicinal effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-cancer activities in various disease models. Carnosol may possess important neuroprotective effects against rotenone-induced DA neuronal damage. Naturally occurring antioxidants reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, carnosol and carnosic acid promoted the synthesis of nerve growth factor in glial cells. Carnosol-mediated neuroprotection in DA neurons is involved in the attenuation of caspase-3 activity, which was induced by rotenone. Furthermore, carnosol-mediated tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) increase, which is dependent on the Raf-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK)-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 signaling pathway, is responsible for the neuroprotection in SN4741 DA cells. (PMID: 17047462). Carnosol, a phenolic diterpene compound of the labiate herbs rosemary and sage, is an activator of the human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), a ligand activated transcription factor, belonging to the metazoan family of nuclear hormone receptors. Activation of PPARgamma increases the transcription of enzymes involved in primary metabolism, leading to lower blood levels of fatty acids and glucose. Hence, PPARgamma represents the major target for the glitazone type of drugs currently being used clinically for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. (PMID: 16858665). Bitter principle in Salvia carnosa, Salvia officinalis (sage), Salvia triloba (Greek sage) and Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary). Nutriceutical with anticancer props. Carnosol is a diterpenoid. Carnosol is a natural product found in Podocarpus rumphii, Lepechinia salviae, and other organisms with data available.
Carnosic_acid
Carnosic acid is an abietane diterpenoid that is abieta-8,11,13-triene substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 11 and 12 and a carboxy group at position 20. It is isolated from rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and common sage (Salvia officinalis) and exhibits anti-angiogenic, antineoplastic, antioxidant and anti-HIV activity. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, an antioxidant, a HIV protease inhibitor, an angiogenesis modulating agent, an apoptosis inducer, a plant metabolite, an anti-inflammatory agent and a food preservative. It is an abietane diterpenoid, a carbotricyclic compound, a member of catechols and a monocarboxylic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a carnosate. Carnosic acid is a natural product found in Salvia tomentosa, Illicium verum, and other organisms with data available. See also: Rosemary (part of). An abietane diterpenoid that is abieta-8,11,13-triene substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 11 and 12 and a carboxy group at position 20. It is isolated from rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and common sage (Salvia officinalis) and exhibits anti-angiogenic, antineoplastic, antioxidant and anti-HIV activity.

Carnosic acid
Carnosic acid is the major rosemary polyphenol. Carnosic acid appears to enhance the anti-cancer activity of vitamin D(3) and its analogs. Carnosic acid enhances monocytic differentiation of HL60 cells when combined not only with 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3) or 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) but also with the classic granulocytic inducer all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). Carnosic acid alone increases the expression of vitamin D receptor (VDR) and retinoid X receptor (RXR) alpha, which was greatly enhanced in the presence of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and all-trans retinoic acid. (PMID: 15265684). Isolated from Salvia officinalis (sage) and Rosamarinus officinalis (rosemary). Carnosic acid is found in many foods, some of which are ginger, nutmeg, star anise, and caraway.
Rosmanol
Rosmanol is a natural product found in Salvia tomentosa, Lepechinia salviae, and other organisms with data available. Rosmanol could inhibit the oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LPL) and significantly inhibit lipopolysaccharide induced iNOS and COX-2 expression, with anti-inflammatory effect.
