TLDR
A comprehensive and critical review of the in vivo data on resveratrol is provided, and its potential as a therapeutic for humans is considered.
Abstract
Resveratrol, a constituent of red wine, has long been suspected to have cardioprotective effects. Interest in this compound has been renewed in recent years, first from its identification as a chemopreventive agent for skin cancer, and subsequently from reports that it activates sirtuin deacetylases and extends the lifespans of lower organisms. Despite scepticism concerning its bioavailability, a growing body of in vivo evidence indicates that resveratrol has protective effects in rodent models of stress and disease. Here, we provide a comprehensive and critical review of the in vivo data on resveratrol, and consider its potential as a therapeutic for humans.

Resveratrol inhibits heregulin-β1-mediated matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression and cell invasion in human breast cancer cells

TL;DR: The inhibitory effects of resveratrol on MMP-9 expression and invasion of breast cancer cells are, in part, associated with the down-regulation of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.

Chemistry of trans-resveratrol with singlet oxygen: [2+2] addition, [4+2] addition, and formation of the phytoalexin moracin M.

TL;DR: The rate constant by which singlet oxygen is removed by 1 (k(T)) was determined by time-resolved infrared luminescence spectroscopy to be 1.5 × 10(6) M (-1) sec(-1) in CD(3)OD, smaller than previously reported values.

Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis as a mechanism of action for aspirin-like drugs

TL;DR: Experiments with guinea-pig lung suggest that some of the therapeutic effects of sodium salicylate and aspirin-like drugs are due to inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins.

Cancer Chemopreventive Activity of Resveratrol, a Natural Product Derived from Grapes

TL;DR: It is suggested that resveratrol, a common constituent of the human diet, merits investigation as a potential cancer chemopreventive agent in humans.

Small molecule activators of sirtuins extend Saccharomyces cerevisiae lifespan

TL;DR: The potent activator resveratrol, a polyphenol found in red wine, lowers the Michaelis constant of SIRT1 for both the acetylated substrate and NAD+, and increases cell survival by stimulating Sirt1-dependent deacetylation of p53.

Wine, alcohol, platelets, and the French paradox for coronary heart disease

TL;DR: Data from Caerphilly, Wales, show that platelet aggregation, which is related to CHD, is inhibited significantly by alcohol at levels of intake associated with reduced risk of CHD.

An enzyme isolated from arteries transforms prostaglandin endoperoxides to an unstable substance that inhibits platelet aggregation.

TL;DR: A balance between formation of anti- and pro-aggregatory substances by enzymes could also contribute to the maintenance of the integrity of vascular endothelium and explain the mechanism of formation of intra-arterial thrombi in certain physiopathological conditions.
