description Painted nettle (<i>Plectranthus scutellarioides</i> (L.) R.Br.) is an ornamental plant belonging to <i>Lamiaceae</i> family, native of Asia. Its leaves constitute one of the richest sources of <i>trans</i>-rosmarinic acid, a well-known antioxidant and antimicrobial phenolic compound. These biological activities attract interest from the cosmetic industry and the demand for the development of green sustainable extraction processes. Here, we report on the optimization and validation of an ultrasound-assisted extraction (USAE) method using ethanol as solvent. Following preliminary single factor experiments, the identified limiting extraction parameters (i.e., ultrasound frequency, extraction duration, and ethanol concentration) were further optimized using a full factorial design approach. The method was then validated following the recommendations of the association of analytical communities (AOAC) to ensure the precision and accuracy of the method used to quantify <i>trans</i>-rosmarinic acid. Highest <i>trans</i>-rosmarinic acid content was obtained using pure ethanol as extraction solvent following a 45-minute extraction in an ultrasound bath operating at an ultrasound frequency of 30 kHz. The antioxidant (in vitro radical scavenging activity) and antimicrobial (directed toward <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> ACTT6538) activities were significantly correlated with the <i>trans</i>-rosmarinic acid concentration of the extract evidencing that these key biological activities were retained following the extraction using this validated method. Under these conditions, 110.8 mg/g DW of <i>trans</i>-rosmarinic acid were extracted from lyophilized <i>P. scutellarioides</i> leaves as starting material evidencing the great potential of this renewable material for cosmetic applications. Comparison to other classical extraction methods evidenced a clear benefit of the present USAE method both in terms of yield and extraction duration.
