Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Several inflammatory diseases and neoplasms are becoming more common in aging populations throughout the world. The clinically used anti-inflammatory or anti-cancer drugs suffer from the disadvantage of side effects, high cost of treatment and in some cases restricted availability. Natural products play a significant role in human health in relation to the prevention of inflammatory conditions as well as malignant tumours. Natural products can also be used in supplementary treatment or be the source for the development of new therapeutical agents. The present Special Issue will focus on anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer natural products belonging to different chemicals and showing attempts to enumerate the possible leads for further drug development.
