Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We easily find in the scientific literature several studies with natural products, from different sources: marine, microorganisms or plants; which demonstrate antiviral, anti-allergic, antitumor, antioxidant, anticancer, antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory and antiparasitic activities. Anticancer activity of products is extensively researched, as cancer is a leading cause of death in the global population. The World Health Organization inform that before the pandemic it was responsible for one out of six deaths. In males, the most common types of cancer are prostate, lung, colorectal, stomach and liver; while in females we observed lung, breast, colorectal, cervical and thyroid. The uncontrollable growth of the cells in organs and tissues has a dubious origin, and goes through resistance and recurrence, reaching metastasis and death. The complete cure of cancer remains a major scientific challenge. This issue will report research into new anticancer agents, using natural compounds.
