Reactivity towards DNA and protein, cellular uptake, cytotoxic activity of a mononuclear copper(II) complex of the thioflavin-T (ThT)-based derivative

TL;DR: The results show that 1 can effectively enter the cancer cells, even the nucleus, and exhibit cytotoxicity comparable to that of cisplatin against A549 and MCF-7 cell lines.

Novel 3-aminobenzofuran derivatives as multifunctional agents for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: The kinetic study revealed that compound 5f showed mixed-type inhibition on AChE, and can be considered as a novel multifunctional structural unit against Alzheimer’s disease.

Safety assessment of different unloaded polymeric nanocapsules in Caenorhabditis elegans

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated toxicological endpoints in C. elegans exposed to nanocapsules (NC) prepared with different coatings: polysorbate 80 (NCP80), polyethylene glycol (PCG), Eudragit® RS 100 (NCEUD), and chitosan (NCCS).

Journal ArticleDOI

The Amyloid Hypothesis of Alzheimer's Disease: Progress and Problems on the Road to Therapeutics

TL;DR: It has been more than 10 years since it was first proposed that the neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be caused by deposition of amyloid β-peptide in plaques in brain tissue and the rest of the disease process is proposed to result from an imbalance between Aβ production and Aβ clearance.

Free radicals and antioxidants in normal physiological functions and human disease

TL;DR: Attention is focussed on the ROS/RNS-linked pathogenesis of cancer, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension, ischemia/reperfusion injury, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and ageing.

Targeting cancer cells by ROS-mediated mechanisms: a radical therapeutic approach?

TL;DR: It is argued that modulating the unique redox regulatory mechanisms of cancer cells might be an effective strategy to eliminate these cells.

The effect of vitamin E and beta carotene on the incidence of lung cancer and other cancers in male smokers

TL;DR: No reduction in the incidence of lung cancer among male smokers is found after five to eight years of dietary supplementation with alpha-tocopherol or beta carotene, and this trial raises the possibility that these supplements may actually have harmful as well as beneficial effects.
