In vitro
Oxyresveratrol has been reported to inhibit β-amyloid-induced neurotoxicity in cultured cortical neurons and in vitro activity of β-secretase, an enzyme vital for the production of the Aβ protein. And it can also prevent neurotoxicity and DNA damage through its antioxidant properties in cultured neuronal cells. This compound shows modest inhibitory activity against H5N1 neuraminidase (an enzyme found in avian influenza virus), but strong inhibition against α-glucosidase, an enzyme responsible for the breaking down of starch and polysaccharides into glucose in the intestine[1]. It is an effective radical scavenger[2]. This chemical protects hepatocytes against oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and resultant cell death. It induces activation of an antioxidant transcription factor, Nrf2, mediated through ERK phosphorylation[3].
In vivo
Oxyresveratrol has been reported to undergo extensive hepatic metabolism and rapid urinary elimination, resulting in a short half-life time, and thereby restricting its clinical use. Moreover, its postulated function as a preventive agent for neurodegenerative disorders, such as AD or PD, appears to be hindered by its low ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Despite its moderate in vitro inhibitory activity against herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1), this compound, in the form of topical cream, exhibits high therapeutic efficacy in mice cutaneously infected with HSV-1, with a potency comparable to that of the antiviral drug acyclovir[1]. It ameliorates acute liver injury caused by CCl4 in mice[3].
