Abstract Antioxidants are compounds that inhibit the oxidation of other molecules and protect body from effects free radicals, produced either by normal cell metabolism or as an effect pollution exposure to external factors responsible for premature aging play a role in cardiovascular disease. degenerative diseases such cataracts, Alzheimer's disease, cancer. While many antioxidants found nature, others obtained synthetic form reduce oxidative stress organisms. This review highlights pharmacological relevance fruits, plants, natural sources their beneficial on human health through analysis in‐depth discussion studies included phytochemistry effects. The information this was collected several scientific databases (ScienceDirect, TRIP database, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web Science), professional websites, traditional medicine books. Current evidence have shown various present some seeds, foods, products different health‐promoting Adopting functional foods with high antioxidant potential will improve effective affordable management radical while avoiding toxicities unwanted side caused conventional medication.

Cancer has become one of the most multifaceted and widespread illnesses affecting human health, causing substantial mortality at an alarming rate. After cardiovascular problems, condition a high occurrence rate ranks second in terms mortality. The development new drugs been facilitated by increased research deeper understanding mechanisms behind emergence advancement disease. Numerous preclinical clinical studies have repeatedly demonstrated protective effects natural terpenoids against range malignancies. potential bioactive investigated sources for their chemopreventive chemoprotective properties. In practically all body cells, signaling molecule referred to as signal transducer activator transcription 3 (STAT3) is widely expressed. that STAT3 regulates its downstream target genes, including Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, cyclin D1, c-Myc, survivin, promote growth differentiation, cell cycle progression, angiogenesis, immune suppression addition chemotherapy resistance. Researchers viewed primary cancer therapy because crucial involvement formation. This primarily focuses on directly indirectly preventing expression tumor cells. By explicitly targeting both vitro vivo settings, it possible explain effect malignant this study, we provide complete overview transduction processes, carcinogenesis, related persistent activation. article also thoroughly summarizes inhibition certain terpenoid phytochemicals, which strong efficacy several models.

Despite the unprecedented therapeutic potential of immune checkpoint antibody therapies, their efficacy is limited partly by dysfunction T cells within cancer microenvironment. Combination therapies with small molecules have also been explored, but clinical implementation has met significant challenges. To search for antitumor immunity activators, present study developed a cell-based system that emulates cancer-attenuated cells. The screening 232 natural products containing electrophilic reactive functional groups led to identification arvenin I, known as cucurbitacin B 2-O-β-d-glucoside (CuBg), plant product activates cancer-competitive environment. Chemoproteomic and mechanistic analyses indicated I covalently reacts hyperactivates MKK3, thereby reviving mitochondrial fitness exhausted through activation p38MAPK pathway. In mice, administration enhanced immunotherapy when used alone or in combination an inhibitor. These findings highlight covalent kinase activator potentiates immunity.

Hu-lu-su-pian (HLSP) is an oral tablet derived from the active compounds of Cucumis melo L., a traditional Chinese medicine. This contemporary formulation frequently employed in clinical settings for management liver ailments. However, molecular mechanism by which HLSP affects metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic disease (MASLD) remains unclear. study aimed to explore therapeutic potential on MASLD and underlying mechanism. The researchers used ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) identify primary chemical components HLSP. A mouse model induced AKT was established through hydrodynamic transfection activated forms AKT. Serum biochemical indices pathological assessments were evaluate pharmacodynamic effects MASLD. Transcriptomic analysis conducted detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Further examination significant DEGs proteins performed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), Western blotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC) techniques, respectively. efficacy mechanisms further explored HepG2 Huh-7 cells presence gene overexpression. From UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS results, we detected fifteen results serum hepatic pathology analyses, it clear that effective treating findings transcription studies revealed CIDEA as essential DEG facilitates lipid droplet (LD) fusion enhances de novo fatty acid synthesis scratch cases steatosis, has counteract.

In Chinese medicine, the Cucurbitaceae family contains many compounds known as cucurbitacins, which have been categorized into 12 classes ranging from A to T and more than 200 derivatives. Cucurbitacins are a class of highly oxidized tetracyclic triterpenoids with potent anticancer properties. The eight components cucurbitacins strongest activity B, D, E, I, IIa, L-glucoside, Q, R. also reported suppress JAK-STAT 3, mTOR, VEGFR, Wnt/β-catenin, MAPK signaling pathways, all crucial for survival demise cancer cells. this paper, we review progress in research on cucurbitacin-induced apoptosis, autophagy, cytoskeleton disruption, cell cycle arrest, inhibition proliferation, invasion migration, angiogenesis, epigenetic alterations, synergistic effects tumor Recent studies identified promising molecules therapeutic innovation broad versatility immune response. Thus, cucurbitacin is agents that can be used alone or combination chemotherapy radiotherapy treatment types cancer.Therefore, based reports past five years at home abroad, further summarize structural characteristics, chemical biological activities, previous provide reference development utilization cucurbitacins.
