Abstract
As an important hallmark in cancer progress, inflammation attracts more and more interests in recent years. Lots of evidences support the positive effect of n-3 PUFA in inflammation-associated diseases, the supplement of these fatty acids is thought to be promising in the prevention and treatment of cancers. In this review, we summarize some current knowledge of the mechanisms by which n-3 PUFA are thought to attenuate cancer associated inflammation, and we also introduce the current situation of n-3 PUFA in clinic.
Keywords: Anti-inflammation, Breast cancer, Colorectal cancer, Microenvironment, n-3 PUFA, Specialized pro-resolving mediators.

Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
The development of new pharmaceuticals for a wide range of medical conditions has long relied on the identification of promising natural products (NPs). There are over sixty percent of cancer, infectious illness, and CNS disease medications that include an NP pharmacophore, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since NP ...read more
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
