Dietary Polyphenols and Their Biological Significance
Dietary polyphenols represent a wide variety of compounds that occur in fruits, vegetables, wine, tea, extra virgin olive oil, chocolate and other cocoa products. They are mostly derivatives and/or isomers of flavones, isoflavones, flavonols, catechins and phenolic acids, and possess diverse biological properties such as antioxidant, antiapoptosis, anti-aging, anticarcinogen, anti-inflammation,...
متن کاملAutoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis and their clinical significance
Autoantibodies are proven useful diagnostic tools for a variety of rheumatic and non-rheumatic autoimmune disorders. However, a highly specific marker autoantibody for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has not yet been determined. The presence of rheumatoid factors is currently used as a marker for RA. However, rheumatoid factors have modest specificity (~70%) for the disease. In recent years, several ...
متن کاملSynthesis and Biological Significance of Some 2-Azetidinone Derivatives
A new series of N-[2-(1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-yl)ethyl]-4-(substitutedphenyl)-3-chloro-2-oxo-1-iminoazetidine, compounds 4(a-j) were synthesized. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed by chemical and spectral analyses such as IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and FAB-Mass. The compounds 4(a-j) were screened for their antibacterial, antifungal and antitubercular activities and gave ac...
متن کاملImidazole ring-opened DNA purines and their biological significance.
Fragmentation of purine imidazole ring and production of formamidopyrimidines in deoxynucleosides (Fapy lesions) occurs upon DNA oxidation as well as upon spontaneous or alkali-triggered rearrangement of certain alkylated bases. Many chemotherapeutic agents such as cyclophosphamide or thiotepa produce such lesions in DNA. Unsubstituted FapyA and FapyG, formed upon DNA oxidation cause moderate i...
متن کاملEndogenous toll-like receptor ligands and their biological significance
Toll-like receptors (TLRs), a family of pattern recognition receptors, recognize and respond to conserved components of microbes and play a crucial role in both innate and adaptive immunity. In addition to binding exogenous ligands derived from pathogens, TLRs interact with endogenous molecules released from damaged tissues or dead cells and regulate many sterile inflammation processes. Putativ...
