The appearance of DNA damage often involves the participation of related enzymes, which can affect the onset and development of various diseases. Several natural active compounds have been found to efficiently adjust the activity of crucial enzymes associated with single or double-strand DNA damage, thus demonstrating their promise in treating diseases. This paper provides an in-depth examination and summary of these modulation mechanisms, leading to a thorough review of the subject. The connection between natural active compounds and disease development is explored through an analysis of the structural characteristics of these compounds. By reviewing how different scholarly sources describe identical structures using varied terminology, this study also delves into their effects on enzyme regulation. This review offers an in-depth examination of how natural active compounds can potentially be used therapeutically to influence key enzyme activities or expression levels, which in turn can affect the process of DNA damage repair (DDR). These natural compounds have been shown to not only reduce the occurrence of DNA damage but also boost the efficiency of repair processes, presenting new therapeutic opportunities for conditions such as cancer and other disease pathologies. Future research should focus on clarifying the exact mechanisms of these compounds to maximize their clinical utility and support the creation of novel approaches for disease prevention and treatment.
DNA损伤的出现通常涉及相关酶的参与,这些酶会影响各种疾病的发生和发展。已发现几种天然活性化合物能有效调节与单链或双链DNA损伤相关的关键酶的活性,从而显示出它们在治疗疾病方面的潜力。本文对这些调节机制进行了深入研究和总结,对该主题进行了全面综述。通过分析这些化合物的结构特征,探索了天然活性化合物与疾病发展之间的联系。通过回顾不同学术来源如何使用不同术语描述相同结构,本研究还深入探讨了它们对酶调节的影响。本综述深入研究了天然活性化合物如何潜在地用于治疗,以影响关键酶的活性或表达水平,进而影响DNA损伤修复(DDR)过程。这些天然化合物不仅能减少DNA损伤的发生,还能提高修复过程的效率,为癌症和其他疾病病理状况等疾病带来新的治疗机会。未来的研究应专注于阐明这些化合物的确切机制,以最大限度地提高其临床效用,并支持创建疾病预防和治疗的新方法。
