Resveratrol-related compounds: Potential for cancer and beyond

[摘要] The nutraceutical resveratrol is associated with a range of biological effects, from antibiotic to anti-inflammatory activities. One major axis of research has sought to harness its anti-tumour potential, with promising preclinical results and early clinical trials. A second strong interest relies on the anti-ageing effects ascribed to the compound and its application to stem cell research. It is becoming clear however that these possible favourable effects are conditioned by a set concentration range not easily controllable in vivo. Here we evoke novel developments in the field that could lead to more reliable conditions for the translational use of resveratrol-based compounds.
