Core Tip This study demonstrates that rosmarinic acid (RA), a natural polyphenol, suppresses colorectal cancer progression by inhibiting nuclear factor-kappa B signaling and synergizes with chemotherapeutics (5-fluorouracil/oxaliplatin) to overcome drug resistance. RA’s dual role as a cytotoxic agent and chemosensitizer highlights its potential in precision oncology. While in vitro findings are promising, future research must address RA’s bioavailability, in vivo efficacy, and clinical safety to translate this natural compound into actionable colorectal cancer therapies.
