Introduction

This thematic issue is dedicated to the latest advancements and research breakthroughs in the realm of anti-inflammatory pharmacotherapy. With inflammation playing a critical role in numerous chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders, there is an urgent need for more targeted, effective, and safer anti-inflammatory treatments. This issue seeks to showcase cutting-edge research on small molecule compounds that offer new hope in the fight against inflammation. We invite contributions that cover a broad spectrum of topics including but not limited to the discovery of novel small molecule anti-inflammatory agents, insights into their molecular mechanisms of action, optimization of their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, strategies for overcoming drug resistance, and the development of drug delivery systems aimed at enhancing therapeutic efficacy while minimizing side effects. Comparative studies evaluating the effectiveness of new small molecule compounds against existing anti-inflammatory drugs are also welcome. This thematic issue aims to serve as a platform for scientists and researchers from various disciplines including medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, biochemistry, and molecular biology to share their findings, discuss challenges, and propose innovative solutions. Through collaborative efforts, we aspire to drive forward the development of next-generation anti-inflammatory treatments that can significantly improve patient outcomes.
