“…The pharmacological Nrf2 activators include: i) phenolic compounds, such as butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene, and tert-butyl hydroquinone; ii) 1,2-mercapto-3-sulfur ketone derivatives, such as oltipraz; iii) isopropyl sulfur cyanogen compounds, such as SF and its synthetic analogs; iv) natural compounds from plants, such as curcumin, resveratrol, tanshinone, plumbagin, puerarin, luteolin, oleanolic acid, mangiferin, and quercetin, etc. ; v) hydrogen peroxide compounds, such as hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl benzene hydrogen peroxide, and 4-butyl hydroperoxide; and vi) compounds that are rich in arsenic, selenium, trace elements, and heavy metal ions, such as As 2 O 3 , ebselen, and Co 2C (Tkachev et al 2011). To date, large amounts of evidence have established that a growing list of antioxidants exert their vasoprotective functions via Nrf2-ARE-related pathways.…”
