Moreover, our results imply differences in copper toxicity regarding the cell lineage used, highlighting the importance of analyzing high copper levels effects in different models. Moreover, it could be proposed that the antioxidant system is a target of copper toxicity, contributing to glioma cell death.

This study examined the effects of Aronia intervention on human health outcomes using aronia juice, extract, or oven-dried powder for a period of 4 to 13 weeks. The primary health parameters considered were C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and reduced glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). The results showed that aronia had a beneficial effect on several inflammatory cytokines, including reductions in CRP, TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations, as well as elevated IL-10 levels. Moreover, positive changes have been observed in antioxidant enzyme systems, including; elevated SOD, GSH-Px and CAT activity. The findings of the presented studies provide evidence that Aronia melanocarpa may have beneficial effects on inflammatory markers.

The percutaneous absorption and anti-inflammatory impact of EGCG encapsulated within phosphatidylcholine were substantially enhanced when compared to EGCG by itself. Additionally, both formulations exhibited enhanced ROS scavenging capacities, albeit the variance between them was not pronounced. These insights furnish a vital theoretical underpinning for the utilization of phosphatidylcholine-encapsulated EGCG in cosmetic applications, specifically for fostering products with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Additionally, SEBS/AgNWs reduced the expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), while increasing levels of transforming growth factor- β (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF), and CD31 in wound healing. This suggests that applying a multifunctional nanoplatform based on SEBS/AgNWs could enhance wound healing and improve patient outcomes in wound care management.

 A. marmelos leaf extract was quantified to possess a substantial amount of important phytoconstituents that have promising pharmacological properties.

In summary, the current findings suggest that the treatment with Sl, St, and Cg was beneficial in ameliorating and reducing the cardiotoxicity induced by TA in rats.

We hypothesized that the incorporation of an acetate group (1a) may reduce its polarity and, thus, increase membrane permeability, leading to better pharmacological activity. These findings support the potential use of these phenolic compounds as Nrf2 activators against oxidative-stress-related inflammatory diseases.

Compound (1) and its combination with ibuprofen significantly reduced paw oedema, lowered inflammatory mediators (IL-1β, TNF-α, PGE2), and restored antioxidant enzyme activity...Molecular docking revealed unique interactions of compound (1) with COX-1 and COX-2, suggesting the potential for targeted inhibition. These findings underscore the value of oilseed cakes as a source of bioactive compounds that merit further investigation.

The HPLC-UV/vis analysis revealed nine phenolic compounds: gallic acid, sinapic acid, p-coumaric acid, cinnamic acid, trans-fereulic acid, syringic acid, chloroqenic acid, ellagic acid, epicatechin. Streptomyces coeruleofuscus SCJ showed promise for drug discovery, exhibiting antioxidant and anticancer effects.

In this study, we successfully established the spectral-effect relationship of IS.Lindl and clarified the effective substances of IS.Lindl. Through network pharmacology and molecular docking methods, it was clear that IS.Lindl plays an antioxidant role through multicomponent, multitarget, and multipathway synergy.

Compound 9d with 4-Cl substitution at the terminal phenyl ring showed promising inhibition of COX-2 (IC50 = 0.25 ± 0.03 μM) and 5-LOX (IC50 = 7.87 ± 0.33 μM), outperforming the standards celecoxib (IC50 = 0.36 ± 0.023 μM) and zileuton (IC50 = 14.29 ± 0.173 μM), respectively...Interestingly, 9d effectively reduced pain by 55.78%, closely comparable to the 59.09% exhibited by the standard indomethacin, and was also devoid of GI, liver, kidney, and cardiac toxicity. Furthermore, 9d demonstrated anti-cancer potential against in vitro A549, COLO-205, and MIA-PA-CA-2 human cancer cell lines and an in vivo Drosophila cancer model. The pharmacokinetic investigations revealed that 9d has good oral absorption characteristics.

A mouse model for psoriasis combined with SDs was established by smearing 62.5 mg of 5% imiquimod (IMQ) cream for seven consecutive days, along with a daily injection of p-chlorophenyl alanine (PCPA) solution at a dosage of 300 mg/kg at days 6-7...XYAS may treat psoriasis complicated by SDs through two main mechanisms: (1) Improving melatonin-RORα axis in the skin can lead to an increase in mnSOD and a reduction in Cyt-C levels, which provide protection against oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and psoriatic inflammation. (2) Reducing IL-6, IL-17A, and TNF-α production to suppress IL-23/Th17 pro-inflammatory signaling axis and epidermal hyperplasia in psoriasis.

The DPPH assay revealed higher antioxidant activity in the MeOH extract compared with the DCM extract, while the FRAP assay showed a contrasting result, with the DCM extract exhibiting slightly greater antioxidant capacity. After treatment for 24 h with a non-cytotoxic concentration of 500 µg/mL of the tested extracts, gelatin zymography and Western blot analyses demonstrated that both MeOH and DCM extracts influenced the expression of MMP-9 and MMP-2 in MDA cells within the 3D cell model, leading to a significant decrease in the levels of these gelatinases, which are crucial markers of tumor invasiveness.

Although many antioxidant drugs exhibit therapeutic potential, there is a heterogeneity of antioxidation functions, including cell growth, cell survival, invasion abilities, and tumor formation, as well as the expression of marker genes including tumor suppressor proteins, cell cycle regulators, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, and Jun dimerization protein 2; their effectiveness in cancer remains unproven. Here, we summarize the rationale for the use of antioxidative drugs in preclinical and clinical antioxidant therapy of cancer, and recent advances in this area using cancer cells and their organoids, including the targeting of ROS homeostasis.
