E-Stilbenes: General Chemical and Biological Aspects, Potential Pharmacological Activity Based on the Nrf2 Pathway. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:232. [PMID: 38399446 PMCID: PMC10891666 DOI: 10.3390/ph17020232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Stilbenes are phytoalexins, and their biosynthesis can occur through a natural route (shikimate precursor) or an alternative route (in microorganism cultures). The latter is a metabolic engineering strategy to enhance production due to stilbenes recognized pharmacological and medicinal potential. It is believed that in the human body, these potential activities can be modulated by the regulation of the nuclear factor erythroid derived 2 (Nrf2), which increases the expression of antioxidant enzymes. Given this, our review aims to critically analyze evidence regarding E-stilbenes in human metabolism and the Nrf2 activation pathway, with an emphasis on inflammatory and oxidative stress aspects related to the pathophysiology of chronic and metabolic diseases. In this comprehensive literature review, it can be observed that despite the broad number of stilbenes, those most frequently explored in clinical trials and preclinical studies (in vitro and in vivo) were resveratrol, piceatannol, pterostilbene, polydatin, stilbestrol, and pinosylvin. In some cases, depending on the dose/concentration and chemical nature of the stilbene, it was possible to identify activation of the Nrf2 pathway. Furthermore, the use of some experimental models presented a challenge in comparing results. In view of the above, it can be suggested that E-stilbenes have a relationship with the Nrf2 pathway, whether directly or indirectly, through different biological pathways, and in different diseases or conditions that are mainly related to inflammation and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound exhibiting therapeutic activities. However, the stability can be altered by UV light, pH and changes in temperature. Encapsulation would be an ideal strategy to improve the stability and bioavailability. Thus, trans-resveratrol (Res) was encapsulated within hybrid nanoparticles consisted with silica and G4 polyamidoamine dendrimer (PAMAM) by sol-gel method. The diameters of synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) were at a range of 212-574 nm and the encapsulation efficiency was 86 %. RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cell line induced with endotoxin/lipopolysaccharide was treated with free resveratrol and Res-loaded NPs for assessing inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), where IC50 values of free resveratrol and Res-loaded NPs were 122.68 µM and 249.74 µM. As for cytotoxicity, IC50 values of free resveratrol were found as 176.57 µM and 201.54 µM for MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, whereas 197.16 µM and 219.07 µM for Res-loaded NPs for the respective cell lines. Overall, sol-gel technique proved to be an ideal technology as can be carried out under mild conditions and Res-loaded NPs have potential to be utilized in the industry.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is known to be a key factor in many neurodegenerative diseases. Inflammation also plays a relevant role in a myriad of pathologies such as diabetes and atherosclerosis. Polyphenols coming from dietary sources, such as pterostilbene, may be beneficial in this type of diseases. However, most of them are rapidly metabolized and excreted, yielding very low phenolic bioavailability what makes it difficult to find out which are the mechanisms responsible for the observed bioactivity. Herein, we evaluate the effects of pterostilbene and its metabolites against H2O2-induced cell damage in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells and against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged RAW 264.7 macrophages. Among the metabolites tested, 3-methyl-4'-glucuronate-resveratrol (also called 4'-glucuronate pinostilbene, PIN-GlcAc, 11) prevented neuronal death via attenuation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and increased REDOX activity in neurons. This compound is also able to ameliorate LPS-mediated inflammation on macrophages via inhibition of IL-6 and NO production. Thus, polyphenol from dietary sources could be part of potential functional foods designed to ameliorate the onset and progression of certain neurodegenerative diseases via oxidative stress reduction.

[PMID: 31559687 PMCID: PMC6850919 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.14680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2019] [Revised: 08/13/2019] [Accepted: 08/25/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) are life-threatening condition in critically ill patients. Resveratrol (Res), a natural polyphenol, has therapeutic effect in animal model with ALI; however, whether Res attenuates ALI through modulation of macrophage phenotypes in the animal model remains unknown. We in this study treated LPS-induced murine ALI with 30 mg/kg Res and observed significantly reduced severity of ALI in the Res-treated mice 48 hours after Res treatment. Neutrophil infiltrates were significantly reduced, accompanied with lower infiltration of CD45+ Siglec F- phenotype macrophages, but higher population of CD45+ Siglec F+ and CD45+ CD206+ alternatively activated macrophages (M2 cells) in the Res-treated mice with ALI. In addition, the expression of IL-1beta and CXCL15 cytokines was suppressed in the treated mice. However, Res treatment in mice with myeloid cell-restricted SOCS3 deficiency did not significantly attenuate ALI severity and failed to increase population of both CD45+ Siglec F+ and CD45+ CD206+ M2 subtype macrophages in the murine ALI. Further studies in wild-type macrophages revealed that Res treatment effectively reduced the expression of IL-6 and CXCL15, and increased the expression of arginase-1, SIRT1 and SOCS3. However, macrophages' lack of SOCS3 expression were resistant to the Res-induced suppression of IL-6 and CXCL15 in vitro. Thus, we conclude that Res suppressed CD45+ Siglec F- and CD45+ CD206- M1 subtype macrophages through SOCS3 signalling in the LPS-induced murine ALI.
