Abstract :

Bioinformatics is the latest technology in the research field. In-silico studies are done to identify the exact target of the drug. Which finds a drug for the particular binding site and final stage animal testing can be done for obtaining a conform result. Reviews of in-silico studies in herbal drugs were retrieved through the use of PubMed. Specific software on a computer allows researchers to analyse enormous data without actually conducting a large number of experiments. It helps to give the existing information to model disease pathway and identifies precise targets of the selected drugs. Modern instrumental techniques like XRD, XRF, ICP-MS etc. help in quantitative and qualitative estimation of metals and minerals and structural analysis of compound drugs. A later stage in vivo and in vitro studies can be done for obtaining the confirmatory result.
