Nutraceutical Profile

ImmunCR Id : ICR79
Chemical Name : Carnosol
Plant Source : Rosmarinus officinalis
Nutraceutical information : Rosmarinus officinalis, Salvia officinalis
Mode of administration : ---
Immunomodulatory mechanism : Antioxidant (ROS scavenger, inhibits lipid peroxidation, downregulates cytochrome c, activates Nrf2, upregulates GSH, HO-1 (heme oxygenase), GST (glutathione-S-transferase), NAD(P)H-quinone reductase, suppressed nuclear translocation of NF-κb); Anti-cancer (downregulates CYP1A1 mrna expression, cyclin-D1,D2,D3, COX-2, PEG2 mrna, p21, Bcl-2, P13K, inhibits activation of PKC (protein kinase C), ERK1/2, JNK, p38, increases gstπ protein and mrna, G2 phase cycle arrest, PTEN (pro-apoptotic phosphatase and tensin), QR mrna expression, 4EBP1 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1), caspase-3,-9, PARP, p53, Bax, inhibit phosphorylation of STAT3, Jak2, Src); Anti-inflammatory (inhibits Caspase-1, NLRP3, IL-1β, NLRC4)
Description : Carnosol is a natural ortho-diphenolic diterpene, formed by oxidative degradation of carnosic acid. It is part of the abietane group, it has two hydroxyl groups at C-11, C-12 possessing a lactone moiety across the B ring.
