Abstract
Flavonoids are chromene analogues abundantly found in plants. It has always been of interest to discover natural flavonoid structures, since living things, including humans, are routinely exposed to these compounds through many dietaries. So far, numerous studies have been conducted on flavonoids with diverse biological actions. The activity results obtained, particularly regarding the effects of flavonoids on various validated and non-validated targets of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), make these compounds promising agents either to be directly employed in clinical trials or to be utilized as important scaffolds for flavonoid-based drug design studies. Although there are many review articles on the treatment and protective effects of flavonoids on AD, within this review, the effects of flavonoids on mitochondrial dysfunction developing throughout AD have been presented concomitant to their structural organization.
Keywords: Flavonoids, Alzheimer's disease, mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive oxygen species, amyloid beta, chromene analogues.

RNA Molecules in the Treatment of Human Diseases
Messenger and non-coding RNAs, including long and small transcripts, are mediators of gene expression. Gene expression at the RNA level shows significant aberrations in human diseases, including cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. Human transcripts serve either as biomarkers of diagnosis, prognosis, prediction of treatment response and/or therapy ...read more
