RosA, Rosmarinic acid: Click to Expand ⟱
Features: polyphenol
Polyphenol of many herbs - rosemary, perilla, sage mint and basil. Rosmarinic acid (RA) is predominantly found in a variety of medicinal and culinary herbs, especially those belonging to the Lamiaceae family, including rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), basil (Ocimum basilicum), sage (Salvia officinalis), thyme (Thymus vulgaris), and mints (Mentha spp.). In addition to the Lamiaceae family, RA is also present in plants from other families, such as Boraginaceae and Apiaceae.
-Rosmarinic acid is one of the hydroxycinnamic acids, and was initially isolated and purified from the extract of rosemary, a member of mint family (Lamiaceae)
-Its chemical structure allows it to act as a free radical scavenger by donating hydrogen atoms to stabilize ROS and free radicals.
RA’s dual nature as both a phenolic acid and a flavonoid-related compound enables it to chelate metal ions and prevent the formation of free radicals, thus interrupting oxidative chain reactions. It can modulate the activity of enzymes involved in OS, such as catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), underscoring its potential role in preventing oxidative damage at the cellular level.

HH, Hedgehog signaling: Click to Expand ⟱
Source: CGL-CF
Type: HH
Sonic hedgehog, Shh; Indian hedgehog, Ihh; Desert hedgehog, Dhh ; Hh signaling pathway is able to regulate the EMT. Hh signaling-related factors, SHH, SMO and GLI1.
Hedgehog signaling is a crucial pathway in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis, but its dysregulation has been implicated in various cancers. The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway is activated by the binding of Hedgehog ligands (such as Sonic Hedgehog, Indian Hedgehog, and Desert Hedgehog) to their receptors, primarily Patched (PTCH) and Smoothened (SMO).

-Hedgehog pathway is crucial for the maintenance of stem cell populations. When deregulated, it can help sustain cancer stem cells (CSCs) that possess self-renewal properties, drive tumor recurrence, and confer resistance to conventional therapies.

-Inhibitors of the pathway, such as vismodegib and sonidegib, have been developed and are used in clinical settings, particularly for treating advanced BCC and other Hedgehog-dependent tumors.
