Discussion

Editorial highlights the role of pharmacophylomics and ethnopharmacology in enhancing drug discovery and conservation efforts.

Pharmacophylogeny identifies relationships between phylogeny and medicinal efficacy, guiding sustainable drug development efforts.
The integration of multiple omics technologies reveals unique bioactive metabolites linked to health benefits, as seen in diverse plant taxa.
Research methodologies include metabolomics and phylogenomics to support natural product exploration in previously underutilized species.
Emphasizing conservation, future work must address bioprospecting and ensure equitable use of traditional knowledge while exploring neglected species.

Hao et al. (2025) studied this question.
