Abstract

Resveratrol as well as natural products biosynthetically derived from it, have been shown to have protective effects against oxidative stress. However, these compounds possess poor druglike properties. At sub-nanomolar concentrations, a novel compound (RVM-6) inspired by a resveratrol natural product prolongs synaptic viability in neuromuscular junctions in D. melanogaster exposed to acute oxidative stress.
