Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and various neurodegenerative diseases are generally characterized by neuronal loss, which directly induces cognitive and motor dysfunctions. Secondary metabolites, as natural products of aromatic and medicinal plants and other origins, could present a promising alternative source to combat neurodegenerative diseases.

Secondary metabolites are those compounds which are produced by certain microorganisms in a phase of subsequent to growth, may have some survival function, have unusual chemical structures, and are formed as mixtures of closely related members of a chemical family.

Engineering of secondary metabolite pathways
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2003Nature produces an astonishing wealth of secondary metabolites with important biological functions. To access this diversity of structurally complex chemical compounds for industrial and biomedical applications, cells have been engineered to produce higher levels and/or novel compounds that were previously inaccessible. Recent examples of metabolic and

Secondary metabolites from Ganoderma
Phytochemistry, 2015Ganoderma is a genus of medicinal mushrooms. This review deals with secondary metabolites isolated from Ganoderma and their biological significance. Phytochemical studies over the last 40years led to the isolation of 431 secondary metabolites from various Ganoderma species. The major secondary compounds isolated are (a) C30 lanostanes (ganoderic acids),

Molecular recognition by secondary metabolites
Biochemical Pharmacology, 1990Aspects of molecular recognition based on the interaction between the vancomycin group of antibiotics and bacterial cell wall precursor analogues are discussed. The energetically unfavourable folding-in of the residue 1 sidechain in vancomycin and ristocetin A is discussed in terms of the favourable entropy associated with simultaneous release of ...

Extraction of Plant Secondary Metabolites
2006This chapter presents an overview of the preparation of extracts from plants using organic solvents, with emphasis on common problems encountered and methods for their reduction or elimination. In addition to generally applicable extraction protocols, methods are suggested for selectively extracting specific classes of plant-derived compounds, and ...

Secondary metabolites are organic compounds produced by microorganism or plant which are not directly involved in the growth, development, or reproduction of the organism. Secondary metabolites play an important role in plant defense against insects and microorganisms defenses. Humans use to secondary metabolites in medicines, flavorings, pigments, and

Detection of Novel Secondary Metabolites
Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 1991The study of antibiotics and other fermentation products has shown that a seemingly unlimited number of compounds with diverse structures are produced by microorganisms. The continued high rate of discovery of new chemical entities, in the light of the abundance of microbial products already described, is due to creative screening procedures that ...

Redox active secondary metabolites
Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2011Various secondary metabolites from plants, bacteria and fungi are redox active and able to modulate the intracellular redox equilibrium in living cells. Many of these compounds behave as antioxidants, yet some of them also cause oxidative modifications, which may ultimately result in cell death.
