Özet
Oxidative stress is a physiological phenomenon that provides favorable outcomes such as in inflammation processes. It has also a harmful side that when the level of reactive oxygen species produced is higher than the capacity of the cell to neutralize them, this imbalance can develop into a precursor of some pathological conditions or enhance already present conditions. On the other hand, scientists have been exploring the oxidative stress system for decades and learned how to harness this system in therapy. The most popular approach is the use of natural and dietary antioxidant to target oxidative stress and induce therapy. However, other than the natural sources, scientists seek many synthetic and novel molecules such as peptide hybrids, polymers, and nanoparticles, which contain an inherent antioxidant activity in their structures. In this chapter, we tried to focus on the novel experimental therapeutic approaches used in pathology and chemotherapy. We hope the colleagues will be able to garner an interest to such approaches and further harness the oxidative stress in their research using these new tools to enhance biomedicine and therapeutics. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.
