Abstract

Bioenhancers or biopotentiators are a revolutionary concept in modern medicine. Bose in 1929 reported this for the first time on the antihistaminic effects of Vasaka leaves. Its effect was increased by the addition of long pepper in it. Outcomes: Large number of drug compound has been introduced by the advances in drug designing technologies. By co-administering drugs with naturally occurring compounds from plants which are considered to be simple and safe, can increase the bioavailability of drugs.

With modern medicine, Ayurveda can be combined which can make major contribution to the drug discovery process through reverse pharmacology by identification of active compounds and reduction of drug development costs.
