The toxicity of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the gastrointestinal tract continues to be a major limitation to their use in the treatment of inflammatory disorders. Better understanding of the pathogenesis of NSAID enteropathy has facilitated the development of novel NSAIDs that spare the gastrointestinal tract. In particular, identification and characterization of the inducible form of prostaglandin synthase has led to the design of novel NSAIDs that specifically target that enzyme. The pathogenesis of NSAID gastroenteropathy is reviewed, as are the strategies that have been used in the past and are used now to develop NSAIDs that spare the gastrointestinal tract. Also reviewed are the strategies being employed to achieve this goal in the future.

Alkaloids are nitrogenous compounds with various biological activities. Alkaloids with anti-inflammatory activity are commonly found in terrestrial plants, but there are few records of the identification and characterization of the activity of these compounds in marine organisms such as fungi, bacteria, sponges, ascidians, and cnidarians. Seaweed are a source of several already elucidated bioactive compounds, but few studies have described and characterized the activity of seaweed alkaloids with anti-inflammatory properties. In this review, we have gathered the current knowledge about marine alkaloids with anti-inflammatory activity and suggest future perspectives for the study and bioprospecting of these compounds.
