Bioactive compounds have attracted much scientific interest since they exert various beneficial effects on health, including cancer prevention, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Some of these compounds have shown anti-cancer activity by inhibiting the cell proliferation in in vitro and in vivo models. The aim of this study was to determine the antiproliferative effect of a terpenoid-enriched rosemary extract (RE) in in vitro and in vivo models of human colorectal cancer. In addition, the mechanism of the antiproliferative/cytotoxic activity was addressed through cell viability and cytotoxicity assays cell cycle analysis, clonogenic survival assay, real time cell growth analysis and migration assay. The role of pathways related to mitochondrial viability and oxidative stress response was also studied. Afterwards, RE activity has been studied in a model animal and the intestinal permeability of the extract compounds has been analyzed through a Caco-2 cell monolayer assay. The results indicate that RE shows a similar and/or higher antiproliferative activity than their individually active compounds, such as carnosic acid. The main death mechanism of RE is the necrosis and, to a lesser degree, a cytostatic effect by blocking cell cycle in G2/M phase. The exacerbated increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, possibly generated by RE terpenoids, could trigger necrosis. Nrf2 pathway was also activated as a part of a cellular protection event against RE action. The anti-tumor effect of the extract was also corroborated in an animal model (human colon cancer xenotransplantation) and no toxicity was found after an acute oral toxicity test in rats. Carnosic acid, carnosol and some triterpenes such as betulinic acid are postulated as the putative candidates for the observed antiproliferative activity. The results also show that carnosic acid exhibited the highest permeability values followed by epiisorosmanol and epirosmanol in the intestinal cell monolayers. The liposome encapsulation of RE has not improved the intestinal absorption any of the identified compounds. Finally, the results justify further research to verify the efficacy of the RE in preclinical trials and to deeply study its action mechanism through a global approach based on omics techniques.
