Four types of resveratrol dimerized analogues were synthesized and evaluated in vitro on LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells. The results showed that several compounds, especially those containing 1,2-diphenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene core (type I), exhibited good inhibitory activities. Among 25 analogues, 12b showed a significant inhibitory activity (49% NO production at 10 μM, IC50=3.38 μM). Further study revealed that compound 12b could suppress LPS-induced iNOS expression, NO production, and IL-1β release in a concentration-dependently manner. The mechanism of action (MOA) involved for its anti-inflammatory responses was through signaling pathways of p38 MAPK and JNK1/2, but not ERK1/2.

Stilbenes are specialized metabolites that are particularly abundant in species. Although the biosynthetic pathways of stilbenes have been well-characterized, the role of specific peroxidases in stilbene oligomerization remains to be investigated. In this study, we used grapevine cell cultures to characterize the functional role of peroxidase 4 (VvPRX4) in the production of resveratrol oligomers after elicitation with methyl jasmonate (MeJA).

The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) matrix protein plays key roles in the virus life cycle and is essential for budding, as it stimulates the optimal membrane curvature necessary for the emergence of viral particles. Resveratrol, a polyphenol (3,4',5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) produced by plants, exhibits pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities. In this study, resveratrol was tested in HEp-2 (Epidermoid carcinoma of the larynx cell) cells for its post-infection effects, and recombinant M protein was produced to characterize the biophysical mechanisms underlying this interaction.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the antiproliferative activity of ethanolic extracts from mycelium using vineyard pruning waste (VPW) as elicitors, highlighting the presence of bioactive compounds like resveratrol and fatty acids.
- Different extracts were analyzed for their potential to enhance bioactive compound production, with specific compounds showing significant correlation with biomass yield.
- Results indicate that the ethanolic extracts demonstrate antiproliferative effects against certain cancer cell lines, while molecular docking suggests significant interactions with tumor necrotic factor, making these extracts promising for pharmacological applications.

G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are integral membrane proteins that have gained considerable attention as drug targets, particularly in cancer treatment. In this study, we explored the capacity of bioactive compounds derived from Gnetum gnemon (GG) for the development of of pharmaceuticals targeting GPCRs within the context of cancer therapy. Integrated approach combined network pharmacology and molecular docking to identify and validate the underlying pharmacological mechanisms.
