Regulation of reactive oxygen species by phytochemicals for the management of cancer and diabetes

Heui Min Lim et al.

Summary: Cancer and diabetes mellitus are life-threatening diseases that share common risk factors. Conventional treatments for these diseases have limitations such as side effects, economic burdens, and patient compliance. Phytochemicals from edible plants, with their antioxidant and pro-oxidant properties, have emerged as alternative therapeutic options. These naturally occurring compounds have beneficial effects and can regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis, offering preventive and therapeutic effects against cancer and diabetes. This article summarizes recent studies on the antioxidant or pro-oxidant effects and underlying mechanisms of flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponins in cancer or diabetic models.

Avicularin Attenuates Memory Impairment in Rats with Amyloid Beta-Induced Alzheimer's Disease

Nikita Patil Samant et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the neuroprotective action of avicularin against amyloid beta-induced neurotoxicity. Avicularin showed cognition enhancement activity and reversed the effects of amyloid beta-induced inflammatory response and excessive oxidative stress. Furthermore, avicularin can halt AD progression by targeting BDNF and amyloid-beta levels in the brain, suggesting its potential for Alzheimer's disease treatment.

Health Benefits of Quercetin in Age-Related Diseases

Deepika et al.

Summary: Polyphenols, including the widely occurring quercetin, are a group of plant compounds with antioxidant properties that protect against aging and various age-related diseases. Quercetin, present in abundant quantities in nature and particularly in onions, possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-diabetic properties. It can easily cross the blood-brain barrier and has shown potential as a curative agent in neurodegeneration, diabetes, cancer, and inflammation. Further studies and formulations of quercetin could explore its potential in treating other age-associated diseases.

Cytokines: Can Cancer Get the Message?

Rachel M. Morris et al.

Summary: Cytokines play a crucial role in cancer development, influencing immune function, inflammation, and tumor cell survival. They also have a significant impact on the molecular biology and microbiology of the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, cytokines have become attractive targets for cancer treatment.

The role of ROS in tumour development and progression

Eric C. Cheung et al.

Summary: Eukaryotic cells have complex systems to regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are deregulated in cancer cells. ROS also modulate the tumor environment and affect stromal cells supporting metabolism, blood supply, and immune responses. The response to ROS is complex and depends on multiple factors, including ROS characteristics and tumor characteristics. Understanding the complexity of ROS in cancers is key to developing ROS-targeting therapies for cancer treatment.

Dennettia tripetala Combats Oxidative Stress, Protein and Lipid Dyshomeostasis, Inflammation, Hepatic Injury, and Glomerular Blockage in Rats

Sylvia Oghogho Omage et al.

Summary: The ethanolic extract of Dennettia tripetala fruits showed significant therapeutic effects in alleviating pathophysiological conditions related to oxidative stress, including correcting protein and lipid imbalances, reducing inflammation, and repairing liver and kidney damage. The extract restored liver and kidney markers to normal levels, repaired altered organ structures, and showed potential for use in drugs targeting liver and kidney diseases.

A Review of the Toxicity and Phytochemistry of Medicinal Plant Species Used by Herbalists in Treating People Living With HIV/AIDS in Uganda

G. Anywar et al.

Summary: Most of the plant species lack detailed phytochemical analyses and quantification of their constituents, with crude plant extracts being the most commonly used. Different solvents were used for extraction and cytotoxicity varied with cell type, solvent, and extract type, making direct comparison difficult. Some plant extracts have potential as anticancer or anti-tumour drugs, but more toxicological studies in animals and humans are needed.

Summary: The study evaluated the safety profile of the essential oil of Dennettia tripetala seeds in female rats, highlighting significant dose-dependent alterations in liver and kidney histology, suggesting deleterious effects on these organs which require public education to regulate excessive consumption. Additionally, in silico analysis identified potentially toxic compounds like Benzylnitrile and Caryophyllene oxide in the seed oil, further confirming the need for regulation.
