An Approach to Drug Discovery via Ethnopharmacology and Sustainable Agriculture.
Review in Current drug discovery technologies, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ethnopharmacology is the study of traditional medicinal knowledge and its application in modern drug discovery. It combines ethnobotanical insights with scientific research to identify bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential. Sustainable agriculture refers to farming practices that maintain ecological balance, support biodiversity, and ensure the long-term availability of resources. Integrating these fields can enhance drug discovery while preserving medicinal plants and promoting environmental sustainability. This review examines the collaboration between ethnopharmacology and sustainable agriculture in advancing drug discovery, conservation, and global food security. This review examines the role of ethnopharmacology in drug discovery, analyzing traditional medicinal practices, bioactivity-guided fractionation, and metabolomic profiling. It also investigates sustainable agriculture techniques, including organic farming, controlled cultivation, and conservation strategies for medicinal plants. Data were collected from peer-reviewed literature using sources such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and journal databases like ScienceDirect. Ethnopharmacology has contributed to the discovery of key drugs with anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Sustainable agriculture ensures a steady supply of medicinal plants while optimizing their bioactive compound production through improved cultivation techniques. The combination of these approaches strengthens drug discovery efforts and supports ecological conservation. Integrating ethnopharmacology with sustainable agriculture is a promising strategy for developing new drugs while protecting natural resources. Future research should focus on innovative cultivation techniques, community- led conservation efforts, and advanced analytical methods to enhance the discovery of new drugs. The adoption of agroecological practices, technological advancements, and policy support will be crucial in ensuring sustainable and equitable benefits for healthcare and agriculture. Bridging traditional knowledge with scientific research will foster new therapeutic discoveries while promoting environmental sustainability.
