About this Research Topic
The primary aim of this collection is to shed light on the possibilities and challenges associated with tapping into the inherent potential of natural compounds to enhance the efficacy of modern pharmacotherapy, ultimately propelling the field of integrative medicine forward.
This Research Topic welcomes original research articles and review articles focusing on, but not limited to, the following:
• The potential of phytoconstituents, sourced from plants and natural origins, in augmenting the efficacy and safety of modern synthetic drugs.
• The exploration of molecular mechanisms underlying the synergistic interactions between phytoconstituents and synthetic drugs. Article collection provide valuable insights into
• How integration can enhance therapeutic outcomes, such as inhibiting drug-metabolizing enzymes, agnostic or antagonistic at receptor sites
• Studies exploring multifaceted challenges linked to integrating phytoconstituents with modern synthetic medicine, such as standardization, quality control, quantification of pharmacological effects, complexities of pharmacokinetic & pharmacodynamic profiles assessment, mutual interaction at different levels, and complex regulatory landscape associated with these therapies.
Additionally, please note that all the manuscripts submitted to this project will be peer-reviewed and will need to fully comply with the Four Pillars of Best Practice in Ethnopharmacology (you can freely download the full version here).
