Phytochemicals and Ayurinformatics: A Review

Kirti Chawla, Kush Chopra

Abstract

ABSTRACT

The knowledge of Ayurveda has been passed on for hundreds of years. With the development of technology and an increase in the knowledge of biology, we now have the ability to test, analyze and interpret biological interactions on computers rather than in actual biological systems and therefore reduce the cost, time, and efforts to understand and to utilize the obtained information.

Keywords: Ayurinformatics, phytochemicals, bioinformatics, Ayurveda, cancer
