Revisiting the ancient concept of botanical therapeutics

Barbara M Schmidt et al. Nat Chem Biol. 2007 Jul.

Abstract

Mixtures of interacting compounds produced by plants may provide important combination therapies that simultaneously affect multiple pharmacological targets and provide clinical efficacy beyond the reach of single compound-based drugs. Developing innovative scientific methods for discovery, validation, characterization and standardization of these multicomponent botanical therapeutics is essential to their acceptance into mainstream medicine.
