    chemicals with a variety of therapeutic capabilities, making them a longstanding pillar of drug development. By helping researchers comprehend intricate biological connections and mechanisms at a systems level, network pharmacology integration has improved the investigation of these substances. Network pharmacology helps promote a comprehensive approach to drug development by charting the connections among natural products, their biological targets, and related disease pathways (Li et al., 2020;Zhang et al., 2021). Additionally, the manipulation of plant and microbial cells to create complex compounds that would otherwise be difficult to create chemically has also been made easier by developments in biotechnology. This method not only makes it possible to produce medications in a more environmentally friendly and affordable manner, but it also makes it possible to find new treatments that take advantage of these organisms' special biochemical properties (Wang et al., 2018).
