Rosa canina - Rose Hip Pharmacological Ingredients and Molecular Mechanics Counteracting Osteoarthritis – a Systematic Review

ConclusionThe antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Rosa canina match its clinical action – especially considering new findings on the pharmacological disease pattern of OA. The entirety of several compounds including phenolics, terpenoids, galactolipids, carotenoids, fruit acids and fatty oils can be considered responsible for the observed pharmacological and clinical effects. Further research is needed to eludicate how and in which manner single rose hip compounds interact with their molecular pharmacological targets.Graphical Abstract
