AbstractKelch‐like ECH‐associated protein 1 (Keap1)‐nuclear factor erythroid
2‐related factor 2 (Nrf2)‐antioxidant response elements (ARE) pathway represents
one of the most important cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress
and xenobiotic damage. Activation of Nrf2 signaling induces the transcriptional
regulation of ARE‐dependent expression of various detoxifying and antioxidant

Abstract3β‐Hydroxy‐lup‐20(29)‐en‐28‐oic acid (betulinic acid) is a pentacyclic
lupane‐type triterpene that is widely distributed throughout the plant kingdom.
A variety of biological activities have been ascribed to betulinic acid
including anti‐inflammatory and in vitro antimalarial effects. However,
betulinic acid is most highly regarded for its anti‐HIV‐1 activity and specific
cytotoxicity agai... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractSpecific and sensitive non‐invasive biomarkers for the detection of
human epithelial malignancies are urgently required to reduce the worldwide
morbidity and mortality caused by cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 19–24 nt
noncoding RNAs that are frequently dysregulated in cancer and have shown great
promise as tissue‐based markers for cancer classification. Once thought to be
unstable RNA mole... hiện toàn bộ

With 27 million cases worldwide documented in 2006, Alzheimer's disease (AD)
constitutes an overwhelming health, social, economic, and political problem to
nations. Unless a new medicine capable to delay disease progression is found,
the number of cases will reach 107 million in 2050. So far, the therapeutic
paradigm one‐compound‐one‐target has failed. This could be due to the multiple
pathogenic ... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractA comprehensive focus on 4‐hydroxynonenal (HNE) as candidate molecule in
a variety of pathophysiological conditions occurring in humans is here provided.
Despite an active, now well characterized, metabolism in most cells and tissues,
HNE can be easily detected and quantified by means of several methods, although
with different sensitivity. Measurements of HNE and/or stable metabolites in
... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractThe fast identification of quality lead compounds in the pharmaceutical
industry through a combination of high throughput synthesis and screening has
become more challenging in recent years. Although the number of available
compounds for high throughput screening (HTS) has dramatically increased,
large‐scale random combinatorial libraries have contributed proportionally less
to identify no... hiện toàn bộ
