Carnosic acid as a potential treatment for Parkinson’s – Dr Sinéad O’Sullivan

In this presentation, Dr Sinéad A. O’Sullivan from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Conditions (DZNE) gives an update on her ongoing preclinical study of carnosic acid, in collaboration with Professor Donato A. Di Monte. Carnosic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in rosemary and sage that is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Although there has been some research to suggest that carnosic acid is neuroprotective, additional evidence of how it performs in specific models of Parkinson’s is needed before it is ready for clinical trial. Dr O’Sullivan discusses the background and justification for the study as well as some of the initial findings. This presentation was part of the Cure Parkinson’s Spring 2026 Research Update Meeting.
