Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural products are treasures given to us by nature. Millions of years of evolution have allowed most natural products to develop specific biological activities. An increasing number of studies have shown that natural products possess anticancer, anti-inflammatory and other beneficial properties. These natural products can inhibit the growth and spread of tumors and tumor cells. They can also improve human immunity to help the body resist cancer. Therefore, the application of natural products in the field of medicine is becoming increasingly important. With further research on natural products, more medicines have been developed, such as aspirin and resveratrol. Many natural products have complex structures and various activities, which play an important role in organic synthesis and biological activity research. This Special Issue aims to collect papers focused on the discovery of new natural products and the elucidation of their role in cancer, autoimmune conditions and other diseases. Both research articles and reviews are welcome.
