| Application: | Rosmarinic acid has been used: • to see its protective effects on the human endothelial cell line (EA.hy926) to treat diabetic atherosclerosis • to test its effect in 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) induced Parkinson′s disease (PD) models on attenuating inflammatory responses and microglia activation • to test its neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic neurons • to test its effects on sperm motility, viability and on intracellular calcium ion concentration • as a reference standard in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Rosmarinic acid (RosA) is a well-appreciated agent used in several diabetic conditions and complications such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy and diabetic atherosclerosis. It has also been implicated to be a neuroprotective agent for several neurological disorders such as Alzheimer′s disease, Parkinson′s disease, and epilepsy by suppressing their conditions. |
| General description: | Rosmarinic acid is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound found in plants of the Boraginaceae family and Nepetoideae subfamily. It is an ester of caffeic acid as well as 3,4-dihydroxy-phenyllacti |
