This thesis deals with aspects of the pharmacology of two polyphenols: Resveratrol and Pterostilbene. These plant-made molecules are the object of intensive research due to their biological and biomedical activities, of interest in the context of various pathologies related to age, inflammation, neurodegeneration, cancer, obesity and diabetes. However, the mechanisms underlying the activity of Resveratrol, and in particular of Pterostilbene, are not completely known. Moreover, the presence of free hydroxyl group(s) (the common feature of polyphenols) renders both molecules good substrates for enzymes of phase II metabolism, whose activity strongly limits the bioavailability and the pharmacological exploitation of polyphenols. During my gr...
