Abstract
Resveratrol, a naturally occurring phenolic stilbene molecule, has been intensively researched for its anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antibacterial, and neuroprotective properties. However, due to its limited absorption and probable hepatotoxicity, it is difficult to employ directly as a medication, limiting its therapeutic applicability. Over the last five years, numerous structural changes in resveratrol have been widely studied, resulting in considerable improvements in pharmacological activity and drug availability. This work reviews the biological activities and structure-activity relationships (SARs) of resveratrol derivatives, with the goal of providing useful insights for the discovery of new resveratrol derivatives.
期刊介绍:
Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049, CODEN: MOLEFW) is an open access journal of synthetic organic chemistry and natural product chemistry. All articles are peer-reviewed and published continously upon acceptance. Molecules is published by MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Our aim is to encourage chemists to publish as much as possible their experimental detail, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section. In addition, availability of compound samples is published and considered as important information. Authors are encouraged to register or deposit their chemical samples through the non-profit international organization Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI). Molecules has been launched in 1996 to preserve and exploit molecular diversity of both, chemical information and chemical substances.
