Current Disease-Targets for Oleocanthal as Promising Natural Therapeutic Agent Segura Carretero, Antonio Curiel, Jose Antonio Oleocanthal Phenolic compounds Olive oil Therapeutic properties The broad number of health benefits which can be obtained from the long-term consumption of olive oil are attributed mainly to its phenolic fraction. Many olive oil phenolics have been studied deeply since their discovery due to their bioactivity properties, such as Hydroxytyrosol. Similarly, in the last decade, the special attention of researchers has been addressed to Oleocanthal (OC). This olive oil phenolic compound has recently emerged as a potential therapeutic agent against a variety of diseases, including cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. Recently, different underlying mechanisms of OC against these diseases have been explored. This review summarizes the current literature on OC to date, and focuses on its promising bioactivities against different disease-targets. 2019-04-04T12:32:10Z 2019-04-04T12:32:10Z 2018-09-24 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Segura Carretero, A.; Curiel, J.A.
