Scientific Background | Carnosic acid is a phenolic diterpene found in rosemary and sage, known for its potent antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. In neuroscience, carnosic acid has gained attention for its ability to activate the Nrf2-ARE pathway, a critical regulator of cellular defense against oxidative stress. This activation leads to the upregulation of detoxifying and antioxidant enzymes, offering protection against neuronal damage in models of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ischemic stroke. Carnosic acid also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by modulating microglial activation and cytokine production. Its dual action on oxidative stress and inflammation makes it a promising candidate for therapeutic development in neurodegenerative disease research. |
