Rosmarinic acid (RA) reduced the mortality of mice infected with Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). Significant decreases in viral loads (P < 0.001) and proinflammatory cytokine levels (P < 0.001) were observed in JEV-infected animals treated with RA compared to levels in infected mice without treatment, at 8 to 9 days postinfection.
