Deciphering the Power of Resveratrol in Mitophagy: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Applications

Phytotherapy Research, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 4, 2025

Resveratrol (RES), a natural polyphenolic compound, has garnered significant attention for its therapeutic potential in various pathological conditions. This review explores how RES modulates mitophagy-the selective autophagic degradation of mitochondria essential maintaining cellular homeostasis. promotes the initiation and execution mitophagy by enhancing PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitochondrial clearance, reducing reactive oxygen species production, mitigating apoptosis, thereby preserving integrity. Additionally, regulates through activation key molecular targets such as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), mechanistic target rapamycin (mTOR), deacetylases (SIRT1 SIRT3), quality control (MQC) pathways, demonstrating substantial effects multiple disease models. We provide detailed account biosynthetic pharmacokinetics, metabolic characteristics RES, focusing on role modulation implications medical applications. Potential adverse associated with clinical use are also discussed. Despite promising properties, application is limited issues bioavailability pharmacokinetic profiles. Future research should concentrate developing derivatives that precisely modulate mitophagy, unlocking new avenues therapy.

Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease: The Influence of Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, Mitochondrial Dysfunctions, and the Role of Polyphenols

Pharmaceuticals, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 17(10), P. 1354 - 1354

Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) is a clinical-pathological scenario that occurs due to the accumulation of triglycerides in hepatocytes which considered significant cause liver conditions and contributes an increased risk death worldwide. Even though possible causes MAFLD can involve interaction genetics, hormones, nutrition, lifestyle (diet sedentary lifestyle) most influential factor developing this condition. Polyphenols comprise many natural chemical compounds be helpful managing metabolic diseases. Therefore, aim review was investigate impact oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, role polyphenols MAFLD. Some reverse part damage related or among them are anthocyanin, baicalin, catechin, curcumin, chlorogenic acid, didymin, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, luteolin, mangiferin, puerarin, punicalagin, resveratrol, silymarin. These have actions reducing plasma enzymes, body mass index, waist circumference, adipose visceral indices, lipids, glycated hemoglobin, insulin resistance, HOMA index. They also reduce nuclear factor-KB (NF-KB), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), blood pressure, fat content, steatosis fibrosis. On other hand, they improve HDL-c, adiponectin levels, fibrogenesis markers. results show promising prevention treatment

Mitophagy in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Mechanisms of Action and the Advances of Drug Discovery

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 5, 2025

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's (AD), are devastating brain incurable at the moment. Increasing evidence indicates that NDDs associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitophagy removes defective or redundant mitochondria to maintain cell homeostasis, whereas deficient mitophagy accelerates accumulation of damaged mediate pathologies NDDs. Therefore, targeting has become a valuable therapeutic pathway for treatment Several modulators have been shown ameliorate neurodegeneration in PD AD. However, it remains be further investigated other Here, we describe mechanism key signaling summarize roles on pathogenesis Further, underline development advances AD therapy, discuss challenges limitations existing modulators, provide guidelines exploration drug design.

Neuroprotective insights into epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) for neurodegenerative disorders

Exploration of neuroscience, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 24, 2025

Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, are among the most significant health concerns worldwide, characterized by neuronal dysfunction, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, protein misfolding. Epigallocatechin gallate, a green tea polyphenol, has been reported to possess multifaceted neuroprotective properties. It reduces stress through free radical scavenging, activation of antioxidant enzymes, stabilization mitochondrial function. also inhibits neuroinflammation modulation key signaling pathways. suppresses amyloid-beta aggregation in Alzheimer’s alpha-synuclein fibrillation thus attenuating toxic accumulation. Its activity induction autophagy promotion synaptic plasticity supports survival However, low bioavailability metabolic instability hinder its translation into clinic. Strategies nanoparticle encapsulation, structural modifications, combination therapies being explored overcome these challenges. Future research could establish epigallocatechin gallate as viable candidate for managing neurodegenerative disorders.
