Among these, NRF2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) activating dietary phytochemicals such as curcumin, sulforaphane, ursolic acid, and cyanidin have demonstrated significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making them promising agents in chemoprevention. This review examines the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles of these dietary phytochemicals, with a focus on their NRF2-mediated effects in cancer prevention.</p><p><strong>Recent findings: </strong>Preclinical studies have highlighted the potential of these dietary phytochemicals to modulate oxidative stress and inflammation, key drivers of carcinogenesis. We explore the complexity of their PK/PD properties, influenced by factors such as bioavailability, metabolism, and drug interactions. While most of these phytochemicals follow two compartmental PK, their anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects follow the indirect response (IDR) model. Furthermore, we discuss the application of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling to simulate the behavior of these compounds in humans, providing insights for clinical translation.</p><p><strong>Summary: </strong>The integration of PK-PD analysis into the development of dietary phytochemical-based therapies offers a pathway to optimize dosing strategies, enhance therapeutic efficacy, and improve safety. This review underscores the importance of these compounds as part of cancer interception strategies, particularly in the early stages of cancer development, where they may offer a natural, less toxic alternative to conventional therapies.</p><p><strong>Graphical abstract: </strong></p>","PeriodicalId":11139,"journal":{"name":"Current Pharmacology Reports","volume":"11 1","pages":"6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11618211/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142794002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
