Abstract
Resveratrol (3,4,5-trihydroxystilbene, RESV) is a natural phenolic compound that exists as cis and trans isomers [c-RESV or (Z)-RESV and t-RESV or (E)-RESV, respectively]. t-RESV is a natural component of Vitis vinifera L. (Vitaceae), abundant in the skin of grapes (but not in the flesh) and in the leaf epidermis, and present in wines, especially red wines. In in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo experiments t-RESV exhibits a number of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties. RESV also exists in wines as a cis isomer, which (unlike t-RESV) is not currently available commercially; as a result, little is known about this isomers pharmacological activity. In this review, I will focus on the few comparative studies of the antioxidant effects of the two RESV isomers in different experimental models.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
