Background:
Inflammation is an essential response provided by the immune system, ensuring the survival during microbial infection, tissue injury and other noxious conditions. However, prolonged inflammatory processes are often associated with severe
side effects on health.
Objective:
This systematic review aimed to provide the evidence in the literature of the pre-clinical and human anti-inflammatory
activity of gallium compounds from 2000 to 2019 focused on elucidating the mechanisms involved in the inflammatory process.
Methods:
Seven bibliographical databases were consulted (PubMed, Medline, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Springer, Web of Science, and
EBSCOhost). The selection of appropriate publications and writing of this systematic review was based on the guidelines contained in
the PRISMA statement. Moreover, the assessment of methodological quality of the selected studies was also performed.
Results:
From a total of 3018 studies 16 were included in this paper based on our eligibility criteria, which showed promising and
consistent results.
