Abstract
The market for anti-inflammatory drugs is large and is expanding rapidly as populations age. Key to the development of new drugs are novel chemotypes. Marine organisms harbour a diverse range of unique compounds with applications in a multitude of disease indications. This review looks at anti-inflammatory compounds isolated from New Zealand marine organisms.
