1. Antibacterial effects: In vitro experiments with sodium rosmarinic acid showed significant bacteriostatic effects on Staphylococcus aureus and Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and certain inhibitory effects on Salmonella typhi, paratyphi A and B, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae (Shiga), and Streptococcus hemolyticus; high concentrations exhibited bactericidal effects, while low concentrations showed bacteriostatic effects. In vivo experiments demonstrated good therapeutic effects on mice infected with Staphylococcus aureus, resulting in the survival of the majority of the animals.2. Antitussive effects: Intragastric administration of a 20g/kg decoction of rosmarinic acid to mice exhibited antitussive effects on coughing induced by ammonia stimulation in chronic tracheitis.3. Other effects: Rosmarinic acid powder, extracts, and film-forming agents significantly shortened the bleeding time from incisions in pigs, dogs, and other animals. The film-forming agent also demonstrated therapeutic effects on incisions in pigs, dogs, rabbits, and chickens. Isolated phenylethanoid glycosides from the whole plant, such as rosmarinic glycosides C, D, and E, exhibited strong activities in scavenging diphenyl bitter acyl hydrazine free radicals and inhibiting linoleic acid oxidation. Toxicological effects were also observed.

Subcutaneous injections of 4.0g/kg, 4.5g/kg, and 5.0g/kg of sodium coumarin to 30 mice resulted in the death of one within 3 days, with no abnormal behavior observed in the remaining mice. Intravenous injections of 2.5g/kg, 2.25g/kg, 2.0g/kg, and 1.75g/kg to groups of 5 mice each resulted in mortality rates of 4/5, 3/5, 3/5, and 0/5, respectively. The toxic symptoms included weakness, difficulty breathing, and death from respiratory paralysis. Rabbits showed no abnormalities after intravenous injections of 1.0g/kg or 0.5g/kg.
