General description

Carnosol is a naturally occurring phyto polyphenolor phenolic diterpene, found in rosemary, which can show a broad spectrum of applications as a an antioxidant, anticancer agent and anti-inflammatory agent.
Carnosol is one of the phenolic antioxidants present in extracts of the herb rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis). Carnosol inhibits the formation of tumors derived using irritants such as TPA and DMBA in murine models of carcinogenesis.The effective dose reported is 1-10 μM topically or 6 μg/ml when added to supernatants of cultured cells.Addition of rosemary extracts to the diet as a 1% supplement by weight was also found to decrease the frequency of DMBA-DNA adducts.

Application

Carnosol is a naturally occurring phytopolyphenol found in rosemary. Carnosol functions as antioxidant and anticarcinogen. In the present study, we compared the antioxidant activity of carnosol and other compounds extracted from rosemary. Carnosol showed potent antioxidative activity in alpha,alpha-diphenyl-beta-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)
