Abstract
An all out war is continuously occurring between oxidants and antioxidants inside the cells. This mini-review will provide an updated revision of the function of some natural compounds having main roles in antioxidant function. We will point on some phytochemicals working at two outstanding targets, tumour cells and neurons.
