Özet:

Resveratrol is a natural compound (an antioxidant) and exhibits numerous therapeutic activities. From a pharmacokinetic perspective, it is unclear whether resveratrol targets the site of action after oral administration because of quick metabolism and excretion that creates doubt on the biological application of the high doses characteristically used for clinical trials. However, these limitations act as a barrier and a challenge for the development of new delivery systems. Recently, gene delivery offers various advantages and has provided treatment options for diseases that are beyond the reach of traditional approaches. The objective of gene therapy for genetic diseases is to achieve durable expression of the therapeutic gene at a level sufficient to alleviate or cure disease symptoms with minimal adverse events. The perception of the molecular and cellular mechanisms steering to therapy and vector-related hindrances have caused in the progress of extremely complex gene delivery with enhanced protection and effectiveness. With the help of gene therapy, it could be possible to target the delivery of resveratrol directly into the host cells and bypass its pharmacokinetic limitations and enhancement of its therapeutic effect. This review is to provide a holistic view of the development of resveratrol gene treatment as a powerful option to treat various deadly diseases.
