    A Pharmacological Perspective on Plant?derived Bioactive Molecules for Epilepsy
    (Springer, 2021) Sharifi-Rad, Javad; Quispe, Cristina; Herrera-Bravo, Jesus; Martorell, Miquel; Sharopov, Farukh; Boyuneğmez Tümer, Tuğba; Kurt, Begüm; Lankatillake, Chintha; Docea, Anca Oana; Moreira, Ana Catarina; Dias, Daniel A.; Mahomoodally, Mohamad Fawzi; Lobine, Devina; Cruz-Martins, Natalia; Kumar, Manoj; Calina, Daniela
    Epilepsy is a related chronic neurological condition of a predisposition for recurrent epileptic seizures, with various manifestations and causes. Although there are antiepileptic drugs, complementary natural therapies are widely used. The purpose of this systematic review was to analyze the antiepileptic/anticonvulsant pharmacological properties of plant-food derived bioactive molecules. In this regard, a systematic review of the PubMed database was made based on the inclusion criteria. Natural compounds/herbs with scientifcally proven antiepileptic properties were selected. Experimental pharmacological studies in vitro and in vivo have shown that favonoids, alkaloids and terpenoids may have anticonvulsant mechanisms similar to the new generation antiepileptic drugs. The relationships of structure-anticonvulsant efect, pharmacological models, seizure-inducing factors and response, efective dose were also analyzed and discussed. The results of in vitro and in vivo pharmacological studies analyzed in this systematic review support the clinical importance of plant-food-derived bioactive molecules for the complementary treatment of epilepsy. Thus, are opened new perspectives to develop new natural anticonvulsant drugs.

    Bioactive Compounds as Potential Agents for Sexually Transmitted Diseases Management: A Review to Explore Molecular Mechanisms of Action
    (Frontiers Media S.A., 2021) Sharifi-Rad, Javad; Quispe, Cristina; Rahavian, Amirhossein; Pereira Carneiro, Joara Nalyda; Rocha, Janaina Esmeraldo; Alves Borges Leal, Antonio Linkoln; Boyuneğmez Tümer, Tuğba
    Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are produced by pathogens like bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses, and may generate severe health problems such as cancer, ulcers, and even problems in the newborn. This narrative review aims to present updated information about the use of natural bioactive compounds for the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections. A search of the literature was performed using databases and search engines such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar and Science Direct. From the pharmacotherapeutic management point of view, any strategies for prevention should contain medical approaches. The bioactive compounds obtained from natural products have shown biological effects against different microorganisms for the treatment of these diseases. The main results showed antimicrobial, antiprotozoal, antifungal and antiviral effects such as HIV. Also, the molecular mechanisms, signalling pathways and action targets of natural compounds were highlighted, thus justifying bacterial and antifungal inhibition, apoptosis or reduction of viral replication. From the data of our study, we can conclude that natural compounds may be a significant source for adjuvant drugs / complementary therapies in the treatment of STDs. With all these benefits, the future must conduct extensive clinical trials and the development of pharmaceutical nanotechnologies for a greater therapeutic effect.

    Natural Products and Synthetic Analogs as a Source of Antitumor Drugs
    (Mdpi, 2019) Sharifi-Rad, Javad; Ozleyen, Adem; Tumer, Tugba Boyunegmez; Adetunji, Charles Oluwaseun; El Omari, Nasreddine; Balahbib, Abdelaali; Taheri, Yasaman
    Cancer is a heterogeneous disease and one of the major issues of health concern, especially for the public health system globally. Nature is a source of anticancer drugs with abundant pool of diverse chemicals and pharmacologically active compounds. In recent decade, some natural products and synthetic analogs have been investigated for the cancer treatment. This article presents the utilization of natural products as a source of antitumor drugs.

    Paving Luteolin Therapeutic Potentialities and Agro-FoodPharma Applications: Emphasis on In Vivo Pharmacological Effects and Bioavailability Traits
    (Hindawi, 2021) Taheri, Yasaman; Sharifi-Rad, Javad; Antika, Gizem; Yılmaz, Yakup Berkay; Boyuneğmez Tümer, Tuğba; Abuhamdah, Sawsan
    Luteolin is a naturally occurring secondary metabolite belonging to the class of flavones. As many other natural flavonoids, it is often found in combination with glycosides in many fruits, vegetables, and plants, contributing to their biological and pharmacological value. Many preclinical studies report that luteolin present excellent antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory effects, and as a consequence, various clinical trials have been designed to investigate the therapeutic potential of luteolin in humans. However, luteolin has a very limited bioavailability, which consequently affects its biological properties and efficacy. Several drug delivery strategies have been developed to raise its bioavailability, with nanoformulations and lipid carriers, such as liposomes, being the most intensively explored. Pharmacological potential of luteolin in various disorders has also been underlined, but to some of them, the exact mechanism is still poorly understood. Given the great potential of this natural antioxidant in health, this review is aimed at providing an extensive overview on the in vivo pharmacological action of luteolin and at stressing the main features related to its bioavailability, absorption, and metabolism, while essential steps determine its absolute health benefits and safety profiles. In addition, despite the scarcity of studies on luteolin bioavailability, the different drug delivery formulations developed to increase its bioavailability are also listed here.
