Abstract

Oxidative stress plays a central role in the pathogenesis of liver diseases, including hepatotoxicity, by disrupting the balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the hepatic antioxidant defense system. Excessive ROS production leads to inflammation, fibrosis, and cellular damage. Antioxidants-both endogenous and exogenous-can mitigate these effects by neutralizing ROS and restoring redox homeostasis. This review evaluates the mechanistic role of antioxidants in modulating key oxidative stress-related signaling pathways, such as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), nuclear factorkappa B (NF-κB), phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt (PI3K/Akt), and Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT). Through the regulation of these pathways, antioxidants reduce apoptosis, suppress pro-inflammatory signaling, and enhance the expression of detoxifying enzymes. Natural compounds like flavonoids, polyphenols, and vitamins C and E have shown hepatoprotective effects, while synthetic antioxidants and their combinations with other therapeutic agents represent promising strategies for clinical application. This review underscores the therapeutic potential of antioxidants in combating oxidative stress-induced hepatotoxicity by offering a comprehensive overview of their mechanistic targets.

抗氧化剂在不同信号通路治疗氧化应激引起的肝毒性中的作用。
氧化应激通过破坏活性氧(ROS)和肝脏抗氧化防御系统之间的平衡,在肝脏疾病(包括肝毒性)的发病机制中起着核心作用。过量的ROS产生导致炎症、纤维化和细胞损伤。内源性和外源性抗氧化剂都可以通过中和ROS和恢复氧化还原稳态来减轻这些影响。本文综述了抗氧化剂在调节氧化应激相关关键信号通路中的机制作用,如核因子红系2相关因子2 (Nrf2)、丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPKs)、核因子κB (NF-κB)、磷酸肌苷3激酶/Akt (PI3K/Akt)和Janus激酶/信号转导和转录激活因子(JAK/STAT)。抗氧化剂通过调控这些通路,减少细胞凋亡,抑制促炎信号,增强解毒酶的表达。类黄酮、多酚、维生素C和维生素E等天然化合物已显示出保护肝脏的作用,而合成抗氧化剂及其与其他治疗药物的组合则是临床应用的有希望的策略。这篇综述强调了抗氧化剂在对抗氧化应激诱导的肝毒性方面的治疗潜力,并对其机制靶点进行了全面的概述。

期刊介绍: Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry is a forum for the review of areas of keen and topical interest to medicinal chemists and others in the allied disciplines. Each issue is solely devoted to a specific topic, containing six to nine reviews, which provide the reader a comprehensive survey of that area. A Guest Editor who is an expert in the topic under review, will assemble each issue. The scope of Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry will cover all areas of medicinal chemistry, including current developments in rational drug design, synthetic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, compound diversity measurements, drug absorption, drug distribution, metabolism, new and emerging drug targets, natural products, pharmacogenomics, and structure-activity relationships. Medicinal chemistry is a rapidly maturing discipline. The study of how structure and function are related is absolutely essential to understanding the molecular basis of life. Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry aims to contribute to the growth of scientific knowledge and insight, and facilitate the discovery and development of new therapeutic agents to treat debilitating human disorders. The journal is essential for every medicinal chemist who wishes to be kept informed and up-to-date with the latest and most important advances.
