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.
