Molecular Mechanisms of Anti‐Inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Activities of Key Phytochemicals: A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Phytochemicals derived from medicinal plants represent a rich and largely underexploited source of anti‐inflammatory and immunomodulatory agents. Chronic inflammation and dysregulated immune responses underpin many tropical and global diseases, including infectious, autoimmune, and metabolic disorders. This review examines the spectrum of plant‐derived
