Abstract

This review reports details on the natural products isolated from Taiwan soft corals during the period 2008-2012 focusing on their in vitro and/or in vivo anti-inflammatory activities. Chemical structures, names, and literature references are also reported. This review provides useful and specific information on potent anti-inflammatory marine metabolites for future development of immune-modulatory therapeutics. © 2013 by the authors.
