TOPIC: Polypharmacology: Synergism and multitargeting in Complementary and Alternative medicine.

Metabolic/cardiovascular or infectious diseases, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders and cancer are complex multifactorial diseases. Traditional medicine involving plants and marine products in the form of extracts are multicomponent recipes that are advantageous due to their multitargeting approach. Combinations can modulate multiple targets, reduceside effects and drug resistance. The talk would emphasize the superiority of synergism and multitargeting behaviour of natural products.
