Abstract
There are numerous reports on the role of oxidative stress in the origin of some neurodegenerative (Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s) diseases; however, the information concerning molecular mechanisms of the observed effects is rather contradictory. This paper summarizes the review of our own works in this field and new experimental observations on the antioxidant action of some hydrophobic plant compounds. We discuss our hypothesis on the role of misfolded proteins in the regulation of the chaperone system involved in the genesis of amyloid neurodegenerative (prion and Alzheimer’s) diseases, briefly describe the role of modification of the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in the inhibition of glycolysis and induction of the apoptosis of nerve cells, and suggest possible ways of the use of hydrophobic plant antioxidants for the prevention of amyloid transformation of proteins and other neurodegenerative processes.
Keywords: Hydrophobic plant antioxidants, Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, Oxidative stress, 2-hydroxypropylbeta- cyclodextrin.

Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
The development of new pharmaceuticals for a wide range of medical conditions has long relied on the identification of promising natural products (NPs). There are over sixty percent of cancer, infectious illness, and CNS disease medications that include an NP pharmacophore, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since NP ...read more
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
