What is Rosmarinic Acid?


Rosmarinic Acid is an ester of caffeic acerbic and 3,4-dihydroxyphenyllactic acid. It is frequently begin in breed of the Boraginaceae and the subfamily Nepetoideae of the Lamiaceae. However, it is aswell begin in breed of added college bulb families and in some bracken and hornwort species. Rosmarinic Acid has a amount of absorbing biological activities, e.g. antiviral, antibacterial, antiinflammatory and antioxidant. The attendance of rosmarinic Acid in alleviative plants, herbs and spices has benign and bloom announcement effects. In plants, rosmarinic Acid is declared to act as a preformed constitutively accumulated defence compound. The biosynthesis of rosmarinic Acid starts with the amino acids L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine. All eight enzymes complex in the biosynthesis are accepted and characterised and cDNAs of several of the complex genes accept been isolated. Bulb corpuscle cultures, e.g. from Coleus blumei or Salvia officinalis, accrue rosmarinic Acid in amounts abundant college than in the bulb itself (up to 36% of the corpuscle dry weight). For this acumen a biotechnological assembly of rosmarinic Acid with bulb corpuscle cultures has been proposed.
