| Vitexin - Apigenin-8-C-Glucoside Alternative Names: Apigenin-8-C-glucoside, apigenin-8-C-β-D-glucopyranoside Type: Flavone C-glycoside / apigenin derivative Function: Vitexin is a naturally occurring C-glycosylated flavone in which glucose is attached to apigenin at the C-8 position. It exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, neuroprotective, and antiproliferative activities and can modulate pathways involving NF-κB, Nrf2/HO-1, MAPK, PI3K/AKT, AMPK, HIF-1α, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. -see also IsoVitexinCancer: Preclinical studies indicate antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-migratory, anti-invasive, and anti-inflammatory effects across multiple cancer models. Reported mechanisms include modulation of PI3K/AKT, MAPK, NF-κB, HIF-1α, ROS, apoptosis, and cell-cycle signaling. Clinical anticancer efficacy has not been established. Alzheimer's Disease: Preclinical evidence suggests neuroprotective activity through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, reduction of neuronal injury, regulation of oxidative stress and mitochondrial function, and modulation of signaling pathways relevant to cognitive impairment and amyloid-associated neurotoxicity. Clinical efficacy for Alzheimer's disease has not been established. |

| ACE - Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 1 Abbreviation: ACE, ACE1, CD143 Type: Zinc metallopeptidase / renin-angiotensin system enzyme Function: Converts angiotensin I to the biologically active vasoconstrictor angiotensin II and degrades bradykinin. ACE regulates blood pressure, vascular function, inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling through the classical renin-angiotensin system. Cancer: ↑ Increased ACE/angiotensin II signaling can promote tumor-associated inflammation, angiogenesis, proliferation, fibrosis, invasion, and metastasis, particularly through downstream AT1R signaling. ACE inhibition can suppress tumor growth and angiogenic signaling in several experimental cancer models. Alzheimer's Disease: ↕ Context-dependent. ACE participates in potentially harmful angiotensin II-mediated vascular, oxidative, and inflammatory signaling, but also directly degrades amyloid-β and can convert Aβ42 toward Aβ40. ACE levels and activity therefore show complex compartment-dependent relationships with Alzheimer's pathology. |
