Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Echinochrome has been known to the world for about a century. To date, Echinochrome has shown therapeutic effects in various diseases, such as ophthalmic diseases, heart and cerebrovascular diseases, metabolic diseases, and immune/inflammatory diseases, through its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In recent decades, more diverse target signaling mechanisms of echinochrome have been elucidated, resulting in broader biomedical applications in diverse diseases.
In addition, the development of new drug forms of Ech A should consider various components that can be added to increase its solubility in water and to provide targeted and controlled release of the drug while preserving or enhancing its pharmacological properties, to expand the application of drugs of interest.
In this Special Issue of Marine Drugs, “Multifaceted Clinical Effects of Echinochrome”, we want to share the therapeutic effects of Echinochome in various clinical environments and discuss strategies for developing the next generation of Echinochrome. Through this, we expect a successful drug development model based on marine natural products to be presented and the basis for the excellence of marine drugs to be expanded.
