Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will provide up-to-date information on the anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities of natural products and their possible application to the development of therapeutic protocols. For many years, there has been a continuous and growing interest in natural products, now considered an important source for the development of novel medicines. Contributions to this Special Issue, “Anti-Cancer and Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Natural Products”, are expected to cover major advances in the discovery and characterization of natural products exhibiting anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities, new insights into their mechanism(s) of action and molecular targets, up-to-date information on technology transfer and pharmacological studies with health products isolated from medicinal plants. Novel perspectives on the use of ethnopharmacology compounds in contemporary medicine are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Roberto Gambari
Guest Editor
