Marine Natural Product and Oxidative Stress

Dear Colleagues,

Marine natural products have a large potential as drugs against a variety of diseases. Oxidative stress is well known to be involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, ischemic diseases, and cancer. The prevention of oxidative stress by marine natural products, involving scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and modulation of cell signaling pathways—such as Nrf2–ARE signaling and apoptosis—could expand their therapeutic use. This Special Issue welcomes articles describing the various properties of marine natural products and their applications in the chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical fields.
