Abstract
The antitumor activity of polyphenols derived from extra virgin olive oil and, in particular the biological activity of HTyr, has been studied extensively. However, the use of HTyr as a therapeutic agent for clinical applications is limited by its low bioavailability and rapid excretion in humans. To overcome these limitations, several synthetic strategies have been optimized to prepare lipophenols and new compounds derived from HTyr to increase lipophilicity and bioavailability. One very promising ester is hydroxytyrosyl oleate (HTyr-OL) because the chemical structure of HTyr, which is responsible for several biological activities, is linked to the monounsaturated chain of oleic acid (OA), giving the compound high lipophilicity and thus bioavailability in the cellular environment. In this study, the in vitro cytotoxic, anti-proliferative, and apoptotic induction activities of HTyr-OL were evaluated against SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells, and the effects were compared with those of HTyr and OA. The results showed that the biological activity of HTyr was maintained in HTyr-OL treatments at lower dosages. In addition, the shotgun proteomic approach was used to study HTyr-OL-treated and untreated neuroblastoma cells, revealing that the antioxidant, anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory activities of HTyr-OL were observed in the unique proteins of the two groups of samples.
