Rosmarinic acid CAS#20283-92-5
1. Powerful Antioxidant: Rosmarinic acid has superior antioxidant properties, more effective than vitamin E, protecting cells from free radical damage.
2. Anti-inflammatory: It offers significant anti-inflammatory effects, supporting health by reducing inflammation in various conditions.
3. Antibacterial & Antiviral: Demonstrates strong antibacterial, antiviral, and antitumor activities, contributing to better overall health.
4. Cosmetic & Pharmaceutical Applications: Widely used in cosmetics for UV protection, elastin preservation, and as a stabilizing agent in pharmaceuticals.
Rosmarinic acid is a water-soluble phenolic compound of natural origin, extracted from rosemary, a member of the Lamiaceae family. It is abundantly present in various plants belonging to the Lamiaceae, Boraginaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Tiliaceae, and Umbelliferae families, with the highest concentrations found in Lamiaceae and Boraginaceae species. As a potent natural antioxidant, rosmarinic acid exhibits stronger antioxidant effects compared to vitamin E, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, and folic acid.
It aids in protecting cells from free radical-induced damage, thereby lowering the likelihood of cancer and arteriosclerosis. Additionally, rosmarinic acid possesses significant anti-inflammatory properties. It also demonstrates antibacterial, antiviral, and antitumor activities. Due to its ability to suppress acute and chronic infections, block UV radiation, and prevent elastin degradation, rosmarinic acid is utilized as a cosmetic additive. Currently, it has proven to hold substantial application value in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries.
