The Maillard reaction is a complex series of reactions that involve reducing-sugars and proteins, giving a multitude of end-products that are known as advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). AGEs can contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. AGEs also play a major role in vascular stiffening, atherosclerosis, osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis and cataracts. Thus, AGE inhibitors and AGE breakers offer a potential strategy as therapeutics for diverse diseases. Various AGE inhibitors have been developed in recent years, and their underlying mechanism is based on the attenuation of glycoxidation and/or oxidative stress by the sequestration of metal ions, reactive 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, and reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species.
美拉德反应是一系列复杂的反应,涉及还原糖和蛋白质,产生多种终产物,即晚期糖基化终产物(AGEs)。AGEs可导致糖尿病和神经疾病如阿尔茨海默病的发病机制。AGEs在血管硬化、动脉粥样硬化、骨关节炎、炎性关节炎和白内障中也起主要作用。因此,AGE抑制剂和AGE裂解剂为多种疾病的治疗提供了一种潜在策略。近年来已开发出各种AGE抑制剂,其潜在机制基于通过螯合金属离子、活性1,2 - 二羰基化合物以及活性氧和活性氮物质来减轻糖氧化和/或氧化应激。
