Ursolic Acid as a Trypanocidal Constituent in Rosemary.
Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2002 The MeOH extract of the leaves of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) completely inhibited the motility of cultured epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi at the concentration of 2 mg/ml after 2 h of incubation.
