The phenolic compound esculetin is known to inhibit the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). However, the signaling pathway by which esculetin mediates its molecular effects in VSMC remains to be identified. The present results suggest an unexpected role

Previous studies have demonstrated that a natural coumarin compound esculetin (Esc) possesses antioxidant, anti-tumor, and anti-inflammation activities and rescues cultured primary neurons from NMDA toxicity. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of Esc on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury
Coumarins comprise a broad class of phenolic compounds that influences the formation and scavenging of reactive oxygen species and the processes involving free radical-mediated injury. In light of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of esculetin and 4-methylesculetin, the aim of
An electrochemical sensor based on a CdSe nanoparticles (NPs)-decorated poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA)-functionalized graphene (CdSe-PDDA-G) nanocomposite was fabricated for the sensitive detection of esculetin. The nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet/visible spectra (UV-vis) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Cyclic
Diabetes mellitus is the most common serious metabolic disorder and it is considered to be one of the five leading causes of death in the world. Hyperglycemia-mediated oxidative stress plays a crucial role in diabetic complications. Hence, this study was
