Helichrysum caespititium (DC.) Harv.: Review of its medicinal uses, phytochemistry and biological activitiesAlfred Maroyi

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We propose a strategy for studying ethnopharmacology by conducting sequential physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) prediction (a 'bottom-up' approach) and population pharmacokinetic (popPK) confirmation (a 'top-down' approach), or in reverse order, depending on whether the purpose is ethnic effect assessment for a new molecular entity under development or a too...

Convallaria accompanied the scientific work of Prof. Kubelka through all these years, resulting in the Habilitation for Pharmacognosy in 1973. He is author of more than 100 publications dealing, for example, with the isolation and characterization of plant constituents, development of analytical methods suitable for the proof of quality of herbal substances and herbal preparations, biosynthesis...

Ethnopharmacologic research has revealed that ethnicity significantly affects drug response. Genetic or cultural factors, or both, may influence a given drug's pharmacokinetics (its absorption, metabolism, distribution, and elimination) and pharmacodynamics (its mechanism of action and effects at the target site), as well as patient adherence and education. In addition, the tremendous variation...
