Abstract
Increasing evidence demonstrates that three classes of molecules originally derived from all-trans-retinoic acid and its synthetic analogues, which function by interacting with the retinoid nuclear receptors, exert their anticancer activities through alternative signaling pathways. Thus, the methylene-linked analogues (4-HBR, 4-HPRCG, and 4-HBRCG) of N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) retinamide (4-HPR) and its O-glucuronide metabolite (4-HPROG), the cinnamic acid analogues (3- Cl-AHPC and AHPC/ST1926) of 6-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl)]-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid, and N-(2,3- dihydro-2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-6-benzothiopyranyl),N-(4-nitrophenyl)thiourea (SHetA2) induce cancer cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis mediated most likely through mitochondrial and/or endoplasmic reticulum stress responses. Structure – activity relationships and potential for clinical translation as anticancer therapeutics are presented.

Bioprospecting of Natural Products as Sources of New Multitarget Therapies
According to the Convention on Biological Diversity, bioprospecting is the exploration of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge to develop commercially valuable products for pharmaceutical and other applications. Bioprospecting involves searching for useful organic compounds in plants, fungi, marine organisms, and microorganisms. Natural products traditionally constituted the primary source of more than ...read more

Drugs and mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
