United States Patent 5,256,700 to Aeschbach et al of Nestec, S.A., Vevey, Switzerland, acknowledges the
powerful antioxidant characteristics of carnosic acid and describes a method for extracting it from vegetable
material, such as rosemary.

Proinflammatory Responses of Stimulated Human Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes", Department of

"Pharmacology of Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinalis) and its Therapeutic Potentials", India J. Exp. Biol.
37(2):124-30 (Feb. 1999) reports that rosmarinic acid has a therapeutic potential in treatment or prevention of
peptic ulcers, inflammatory diseases, atherosclerosis, ischaemic heart disease, cancer and other diseases. It is
also reported that rosmarinic acid is well absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and the skin.
M. J. McKeown, "Rosemary," http://www.cancerlynx.com/rosemary.html, (December 17, 2007), reports that
carnosic acid is capable of neutralizing several free radicals without recycling.
United States Patent 6,391,344 and United States Patent 6,479,549 to Kosaka et al of Nagase & Company,
Osaka, Japan, describes a method of promoting the synthesis of nerve growth factor by administering an
effective amount of rosemary extract or carnosic acid and/or carnosol to a subject.

the antioxidant characteristics of compounds extracted from rosemary, including carnosic acid.

"Carnosol-Induced Apoptosis and Downregulation of Bcl-2 in B-lineage Leukemia Cells", Cancer Lett.,
170(1):33-9 (Sept. 10, 2001) reports that carnosol may be useful as a novel chemotherapeutic agent against
B-lineage leukemias and possibly other types of cancers that express high levels of Bcl-2 protective protein.
Carnosol is reported to be cytotoxic against several pro-B and pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) lines.
In all of the acute lymphoblastic leukemia lines tested, carnosol induced apoptotic cell death characterized by
loss of nuclear DNA, externalization of cell membrane phosphatidylserine, and depolarization of mitochondrial
membranes.
United States Patent 6,180,144 to Hill et al of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, described
the use of carnosic acid to stabilize chewing gum.
