Summary: The study found that rosemary is an aromatic herb with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, which can be used as a condiment and in folk medicine. The study also found that a rosemary extract can protect liver mitochondria from oxidative damage in vitro and have antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects in vivo. These findings highlight the potent antioxidant activity of rosemary and its potential health benefits.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a topical formulation with rosemary extract that had antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. Different extraction methods were evaluated, and the infusion and Soxhlet methods showed promising results. The developed formulation containing the infusion extract showed stable characteristics and high levels of acceptance among volunteers, suggesting its potential use as a phytocosmetic. This study also reports the first attempt to produce an oil-in-water emulsion using only natural excipients and rosemary extract, which is a promising novelty.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of R. officinalis-loaded liposomes on cell proliferation and antimicrobial activity. The liposomes showed high encapsulation efficiency, stability, and selective toxicity towards cancer cells, as well as effective antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. These findings confirm the biological activities of R. officinalis and propose novel delivery systems for enhanced polyphenol activity.

Summary: This study compared the chemical profile and bioactivities of hydroalcoholic extracts from wild and cultivated Rosmarinus officinalis. The extracts showed similar antioxidant activity and inhibition of enzyme activities. Additionally, the extracts exhibited anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects through modulation of the nitric oxide pathway and inhibition of NF-kB and COX-2. These findings suggest that R. officinalis extracts could be developed as novel therapeutic strategies for inflammation-based diseases, as well as for food and pharmaceutical purposes.

Summary: This study demonstrates a robust and reproducible approach for selectively extracting rosmarinic acid using molecularly imprinted polymers. By optimizing the molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction protocol, a remarkably selective extraction of RA from real-world Rosmarinus officinalis L. extract was achieved, with a recovery rate and purity of 81.96 +/- 6.33% and 80.59 +/- 0.30%, respectively.

Summary: Three new ursane-type triterpenoids were isolated from the ethanolic extract of Rosmarinus officinalis, and their structures were determined by NMR experiments. These compounds showed significant inhibitory effects on nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-activated mouse RAW264.7 macrophages, but no antibacterial activity was observed at a concentration of 128 μg/mL.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the antidiabetic and hypolipidemic potential activities of L. plantarum fermented oat extract in Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The fermented oat extract alleviated hyperglycemia and improved serum lipid profiles in the diabetic rats, while also promoting hepatoprotective and nephroprotective characteristics.

Summary: Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease caused by protozoa which affects poultry production significantly. Anticoccidial drugs and vaccination are common preventive measures, but drug resistance and environmental pollutants have led to a search for alternative methods. The use of medicinal plants or plant-derived products could provide a solution, as they contain bioactive compounds that could be developed into new chemical entities.

Summary: The study investigated the ability of ten lactic acid bacteria species to eliminate or inhibit Aflatoxin G(1) (AFG(1)), a hepatocarcinogenic mycotoxin, from media, and found that the efficiency varied depending on the strain and media type. Cold storage was found to be more effective in reducing AFG(1) content compared to higher temperatures for certain LAB strains.
