Rosmanol exhibits the strongest inhibition on cell viability with IC50 approximately 42 μM. Rosmanol might suppress cancer cell proliferation or induce cancer cell undergoing apoptosis that lead to cell growth-inhibition. With 50 μM of Rosmanol treatment, the percentage of COLO 205 cells undergoing apoptosis increase dramatically from 9 h (29%) to 24 h (51%). Within 24 h of treatment with 50 μM Rosmanol, COLO 205 cells exhibit significant morphological changes and chromosomal condensation, which is indicative of apoptotic cell death[1]. Carnosol is a lipid protector against attack by O2[2].
