Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is a bioactive olive oil phenol with beneficial effects in a number of pathological situations. We have previously demonstrated that an HT-enriched diet could serve as a beneficial therapeutic approach to attenuate ischemic-stroke-associated damage in mice. Our exploratory pilot study examined this effect in humans.

In solid tumors, such as breast cancer, hypoxic microenvironment worsens patient prognoses. We have previously reported in MCF-7 breast cancer cells that, under hypoxic conditions, hydroxytyrosol (HT) downregulates the level of reactive oxygen species, reduces the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), and, at high concentrations, can bind to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). With this background, the present study investigated whether the most abundant extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) phenolic compound tyrosol (TYR), with a chemical structure similar to HT but with only one hydroxyl group, exerts comparable effects.
