Received: 22 October 2020; Accepted: 7 December 2020; Published: 12 December 2020 Abstract: Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites widely spread throughout the plant kingdom that can be categorized as flavonoids and non-flavonoids. Interest in phenolic compounds has dramatically increased during the last decade due to their biological effects and promising therapeutic applications. In this review, we discuss the importance of phenolic compounds’ bioavailability to accomplish their physiological functions, and highlight main factors affecting such parameter throughout metabolism of phenolics, from absorption to excretion. Besides, we give an updated overview of the health benefits of phenolic compounds, which are mainly linked to both their direct (e.g., free-radical scavenging ability) and indirect (e.g., by stimulating activity of antioxidant enzymes) antioxidant properties. Such antioxidant actions reportedly help them to prevent chronic and oxidative stress-related disorders such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, among others. Last, we comment on development of cutting-edge delivery systems intended to improve bioavailability and enhance stability of phenolic compounds in the human body. Keywords: antioxidant activity; bioavailability; flavonoids; health benefits; phenolic compounds 1. Introduction Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites widely spread throughout the plant kingdom with around 8000 different phenolic structures [1].

  • Aromatase and Its Inhibitors: Significance for Breast Cancer Therapy † EVAN R
    Aromatase and Its Inhibitors: Significance for Breast Cancer Therapy † EVAN R. SIMPSON* AND MITCH DOWSETT *Prince Henry’s Institute of Medical Research, Monash Medical Centre, Clayton, Victoria 3168, Australia; †Department of Biochemistry, Royal Marsden Hospital, London SW3 6JJ, United Kingdom ABSTRACT Endocrine adjuvant therapy for breast cancer in recent years has focussed primarily on the use of tamoxifen to inhibit the action of estrogen in the breast. The use of aromatase inhibitors has found much less favor due to poor efficacy and unsustainable side effects. Now, however, the situation is changing rapidly with the introduction of the so-called phase III inhibitors, which display high affinity and specificity towards aromatase. These compounds have been tested in a number of clinical settings and, almost without exception, are proving to be more effective than tamoxifen. They are being approved as first-line therapy for elderly women with advanced disease. In the future, they may well be used not only to treat young, postmenopausal women with early-onset disease but also in the chemoprevention setting. However, since these compounds inhibit the catalytic activity of aromatase, in principle, they will inhibit estrogen biosynthesis in every tissue location of aromatase, leading to fears of bone loss and possibly loss of cognitive function in these younger women. The concept of tissue-specific inhibition of aromatase expression is made possible by the fact that, in postmenopausal women when the ovaries cease to produce estrogen, estrogen functions primarily as a local paracrine and intracrine factor. Furthermore, due to the unique organization of tissue-specific promoters, regulation in each tissue site of expression is controlled by a unique set of regulatory factors.

Drugs that enhance or inhibit tubulin polymerization can destroy this dynamic process, arresting cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Although drugs that target tubulin generally demonstrate cytotoxic potency in sub-nanomolar range, resistance due to drug efflux is a common phenomenon among the antitubulin agents. We recently reported a class of 4-Substituted Methoxybenzoyl-Aryl- Thiazoles (SMART), which exhibited great in vitro and in vivo potency. SMART compounds effectively inhibited tubulin polymerization in dose dependent manner, suggesting that SMART compounds may bind to tubulin and subsequently hamper the polymerization. To date the only method to determine the binding of inhibitor to tubulin has been competitive radioligand binding assays. We developed a novel non-radioactive mass spectrometry (MS) binding assay to study the tubulin binding of colchicine, vinblastine and paclitaxel. The method involves a very simple step of separating the unbound ligand from macromolecules using ultrafiltration. The unbound ligand in the filtrate can be accurately determined using a highly sensitive and specific LC-MS/MS method.
