“…Its ability to act as a metal chelator, free radical scavenger, and regulator of the main pathways involved in redox homeostasis [i.e., Nrf2, NF-kB, MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) and Akt (a.k.a. protein kinase B] has increased its interest as an antioxidant molecule [ 305 ]. For example, creams rich in apigenin are used for their beneficial effects on skin aging prevention [ 306 , 307 ].…”

The Role of Antioxidants in the Interplay between Oxidative Stress and Senescence

Cellular senescence is an irreversible state of cell cycle arrest occurring in response to stressful stimuli, such as telomere attrition, DNA damage, reactive oxygen species, and oncogenic proteins. Although beneficial and protective in several physiological processes, an excessive senescent cell burden has been involved in various pathological conditions including aging, tissue dysfunction and chronic diseases. Oxidative stress (OS) can drive senescence due to a loss of balance between pro-oxidant stimuli and antioxidant defences. Therefore, the identification and characterization of antioxidant compounds capable of preventing or counteracting the senescent phenotype is of major interest. However, despite the considerable number of studies, a comprehensive overview of the main antioxidant molecules capable of counteracting OS-induced senescence is still lacking. Here, besides a brief description of the molecular mechanisms implicated in OS-mediated aging, we review and discuss the role of enzymes, mitochondria-targeting compounds, vitamins, carotenoids, organosulfur compounds, nitrogen non-protein molecules, minerals, flavonoids, and non-flavonoids as antioxidant compounds with an anti-aging potential, therefore offering insights into innovative lifespan-extending approaches.

“…Apigenin is a natural bioflavonoid present in various vegetables, herbs, spices, and fruits, and particularly in Citrus × aurantium L. (grapefruit) ( Kashyap et al, 2021 ). Apigenin can improve and ameliorate HFD-induced NAFLD syndrome in a mouse model by decreasing inflammation and hepatic lipid accumulation.…”

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is among the most prevalent primary liver diseases worldwide and can develop into various conditions, ranging from simple steatosis, through non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), to fibrosis, and eventually cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Nevertheless, there is no effective treatment for NAFLD due to the complicated etiology. Recently, activation of the NLPR3 inflammasome has been demonstrated to be a contributing factor in the development of NAFLD, particularly as a modulator of progression from initial hepatic steatosis to NASH. NLRP3 inflammasome, as a caspase-1 activation platform, is critical for processing key pro-inflammatory cytokines and pyroptosis. Various stimuli involved in NAFLD can activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, depending on the diverse cellular stresses that they cause. NLRP3 inflammasome-related inhibitors and agents for NAFLD treatment have been tested and demonstrated positive effects in experimental models. Meanwhile, some drugs have been applied in clinical studies, supporting this therapeutic approach. In this review, we discuss the activation, biological functions, and treatment targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome in the context of NAFLD progression. Specifically, we focus on the different types of therapeutic agents that can inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome and summarize their pharmacological effectiveness for NAFLD treatment.

“…In addition, luteolin showed surpassing results in DPPH • radical scavenging and FRAP assays compared with both vitamin C and BHT ( 72 ). The in vitro mechanism of apigenin against oxidative stress includes oxidative enzyme inhibition, modulation of redox signaling pathways (NF-κB, Nrf2, MAPK, and P13/Akt), reinforcement of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, free radical scavenging, and metal chelation ( 74 ). An in vivo experiment in arterial aging mice conducted by Clayton et al ( 75 ) revealed that apigenin could increase NO bioavailability; normalize ROS, antioxidant expression, and oxidative stress; and abolish the inhibitory effect of ROS ( 75 ).…”

Oxidative stress is a condition occurs when there is the imbalance between prooxidants and free radicals. It involves in cellular metabolism, aging, and immune response. Recently oxidative stress has been proved about its beneficial roles in human body. However, long term oxidative stress and high concentration of free radicals can lead to negative effects on organs, systems, and physiological conditions. Prooxidant or antioxidant, therefore, is one of the most important choices for the prevention of these anomaly. Tamarindus indica is a medicinal plant that has been reported as a source of antioxidants. The plants' leaves possess antioxidant effects according to many studies. However, these results have not yet been systematically summarized. The present systematic review summarizes and discusses about the in vitro antioxidant capacities of T. indica leaves. The plants' description and morphology, elements and phytochemical constituents, total phenolic and flavonoids contents and toxicity are also summarized and discussed here.
