Description | Rosmarinic acid, also known as rosmarinate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as coumaric acids and derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing Aromatic compounds containing a cinnamic acid moiety (or a derivative thereof) hydroxylated at the C2 (ortho-), C3 (meta-), or C4 (para-) carbon atom of the benzene ring. Rosmarinic acid is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Rosmarinic acid is found in Ajuga decumbens, Anchusa officinalis, Anchusa strigosa, Foeniculum vulgare , Anthoceros punctatus, Apis cerana, Centella asiatica , Clinopodium chinense, Clinopodium umbrosum, Plectranthus amboinicus, Plectranthus scutellarioides, Colocasia esculenta , Condea verticillata, Coriandrum sativum, Crataegus laevigata, Ehretia microphylla, Verbena bipinnatifida, Glechoma hederacea, Hedeoma drummondii, Hedera hibernica, Heliotropium arborescens, Hyptis capitata, Isodon coetsa, Isodon japonicus, Isodon oresbius, Isodon sculponeatus, Lavandula angustifolia, Lavandula intermedia, Lithospermum erythrorhizon, Lycopus asper, Lycopus europaeus, Mosla dianthera, Oceaniopteris gibba, Ocimum americanum, Ocimum gratissimum, Ocimum tenuiflorum, Origanum acutidens, Perilla frutescens, Plantago lagopus, Coleus forskohlii, Prunella vulgaris, Robdosia coetsa, Salvia amplexicaulis, Salvia deserta, Salvia fruticosa, Salvia przewalskii, Salvia trijuga, Thymus austriacus, Thymus capitatus , Thymus citriodorus , Thymus longicaulis , Thymus oblongifolius, Thymus praecox , Thymus pulegioides , Thymus serpyllum , Thymus sibthorpii, Trigonotis peduncularis, Triumfetta rhomboidea, Vaccinium arctostaphylos, Verbena hybrida, Veronica spicata and Zataria multiflora. Rosmarinic acid was first documented in 1999 (PMID: 10353266). Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Rosmarinic acid (PMID: 15866491) (PMID: 16604092) (PMID: 12482446). |
