carnosic acid

Carnosic acid is a lipid absorption inhibitor, endowed with antioxidative, antimicrobial, photoprotective potential, and antiproliferative properties.

Methyl (E)-4-hydroxycinnamatee is found in several plants such as onion or Morinda citrifolia. It induces apoptosis in combination with Carnosic Acid and kills acute myeloid leukemia cells. It has antioxidant and antibacterial activity.

12-O-Methylcarnosic acid is a diterpene carnosic acid isolated from Salvia microphylla, is an active constituent of 5α-Reductase inhibition with an IC50 value of 61.7 μM. 12-O-Methylcarnosic acid has Antioxidant activity, it is effective preventing gastric lesions. 12-O-Methylcarnosic acid can suppress melanin production with downregulation of Tyrosinase expression in HMV-II melanoma cells. 12-O-Methylcarnosic acid may have anti-diabetic activity, it is able to significantly activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ.
