| Vitexin - Apigenin-8-C-Glucoside Alternative Names: Apigenin-8-C-glucoside, apigenin-8-C-β-D-glucopyranoside Type: Flavone C-glycoside / apigenin derivative Function: Vitexin is a naturally occurring C-glycosylated flavone in which glucose is attached to apigenin at the C-8 position. It exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, neuroprotective, and antiproliferative activities and can modulate pathways involving NF-κB, Nrf2/HO-1, MAPK, PI3K/AKT, AMPK, HIF-1α, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. -see also IsoVitexinCancer: Preclinical studies indicate antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-migratory, anti-invasive, and anti-inflammatory effects across multiple cancer models. Reported mechanisms include modulation of PI3K/AKT, MAPK, NF-κB, HIF-1α, ROS, apoptosis, and cell-cycle signaling. Clinical anticancer efficacy has not been established. Alzheimer's Disease: Preclinical evidence suggests neuroprotective activity through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, reduction of neuronal injury, regulation of oxidative stress and mitochondrial function, and modulation of signaling pathways relevant to cognitive impairment and amyloid-associated neurotoxicity. Clinical efficacy for Alzheimer's disease has not been established. |

| Peroxynitrite - ONOO− Abbreviation: ONOO−, Peroxynitrite Type: Reactive nitrogen species / oxidant and nitrating species Function: Peroxynitrite is a highly reactive nitrogen species formed primarily by the rapid reaction of nitric oxide with superoxide. It oxidizes and nitrates proteins, lipids, DNA, and mitochondrial components and can alter enzyme activity, membrane function, redox signaling, and cellular viability. Peroxynitrite is an important source of protein tyrosine nitration and formation of 3-nitrotyrosine. Cancer: ↑ Frequently elevated in inflammatory and oxidative tumor microenvironments. Increased peroxynitrite can promote DNA damage, genomic instability, protein nitration, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammatory signaling, immune suppression, and tumor progression. However, sufficiently high peroxynitrite levels can also induce cancer-cell death, making its effects concentration- and context-dependent. Alzheimer's Disease: ↑ Increased peroxynitrite formation and nitrosative stress are associated with Alzheimer's disease. Elevated ONOO− contributes to protein nitration, mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid oxidation, DNA damage, synaptic impairment, and neuronal injury. Increased 3-nitrotyrosine in Alzheimer's disease is commonly used as indirect evidence of elevated peroxynitrite-mediated damage. |
