Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune-mediated, heterogeneous, multifactorial central nervous system degenerative disease influenced by genetics and environment. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent lipid peroxidation/reactive oxygen species-induced programmed cell death, exacerbates MS pathology. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) regulates ferroptosis by clearing peroxides to sustain cells. Targeting GPX4-mediated ferroptosis, especially via safe, potent natural compounds, is a promising MS treatment. This review explores GPX4-dependent ferroptosis's role in MS progression and summarizes natural compounds for MS therapy.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
