Polyphenol derivatives – potential regulators of neutrophil activity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study provides new information on the effect of natural polyphenols (derivatives of stilbene - resveratrol, pterostilbene, pinosylvin and piceatannol and derivatives of ferulic acid - curcumin, N-feruloylserotonin) on the activity of human neutrophils in influencing oxidative burst. All the polyphenols tested were found to reduce markedly the production of reactive oxygen species released by human neutrophils on extra-and intracellular levels as well as in cell free system. Moreover, pinosylvin, curcumin, N-feruloylserotonin and resveratrol decreased protein kinase C activity involved in neutrophil signalling and reactive oxygen species production. Our results suggest that due to their anti-neutrophil activity, the polyphenols tested might be attractive candidates in therapeutic development.

Today, soil and water contamination with heavy metals, such as cadmium (Cd), have been one of the important challenges for environment and human and plant health. Application of plant growth regulators such as Salicylic acid (SA) have been the proper option for mitigation of Cd impact on plant growth. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interaction of Cd and SA on antioxidant enzyme...

In the recent years, the role of LOX enzymes in the cause of neoplastic diseases such as colorectal, skin, pancreatic and renal cancers has been confirmed. A new series of 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives bearing 2-pyridyl moiety was synthesized and their cytotoxicity was assessed using MTT protocol. Enzyme inhibitory activity of prepared compounds was also tested against 15-lipoxygenase-1 as nove...
