Advances in anti-inflammatory drug development

Abstract

Inflammation is a fundamental biological response to injury or infection, yet chronic inflammation is implicated in various diseases, including arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. This review paper examines recent advances in anti-inflammatory drug development, focusing on novel targets, innovative drug delivery systems, and emerging therapies. The exploration includes small molecules, biologics, and natural products, highlighting their mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety profiles. Future perspectives and challenges in anti-inflammatory drug research are also discussed.
