This paper reviews naturally occurring cell adhesion inhibitors derived from a plant, microbial and marine origin. Plant-derived inhibitors are classified according to a type of structure. Microbially and marine-derived inhibitors were described according to age. In addition, effects of inhibitors on cell proliferation and that of standards on cell adhesion are listed as much as possible.
Keywords: Cell adhesion; HUVEC; ICAM-1; Inhibitor; LFA-1; LPS; Natural products; PMA; TNF-α.
