pharmacodynamics of Natural Products
Understanding the pharmacodynamics of Natural Products helps in optimizing their use for pain relief and ensures that they can be safely integrated into therapeutic regimens. This involves understanding the relationship between the concentration of a natural product and its impact on target organisms or cells. Natural products can exhibit a wide range of pharmacodynamic properties, including effects on enzyme activity, receptor binding, and modulation of cellular pathways. They may act as agonists or antagonists at specific receptors, influence signal transduction pathways, or alter gene expression.
