By regulating host cell factors, especially in conditions like Drug-resistant tuberculosis, the increasing burden of Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) can be reduced. The role of homoeopathic drugs or CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) drugs in regulating host-directed mechanisms is largely unknown. The primary objective of this scoping review is to identify the host-directed mechanisms of homoeopathic drugs in relation to Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathophysiology. The second objective is to understand whether these host-directed mechanisms can be useful for treating sensitive and drug-resistant tuberculosis.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Our scoping review was drafted using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) extension for scoping reviews. The following databases were searched to identify potentially relevant papers: PUBMED, COCHRANE, AYUSH RESEARCH PORTAL, and Google SCHOLAR. Forty-eight papers were screened by two people independently with blinding using Rayyan.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The number of papers identified from databases and registers was 82. Only 15 papers were included in the final selection, while others were excluded because they did not meet the criteria for homoeopathy, host-directed mechanisms, and drug-resistant tuberculosis.</div></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><div>To be considered host-directed, a homoeopathic drug action must act through the following mechanisms: regulation of adaptive immune responses, innate immune responses, cell death targets, and metabolism regulation. If we analyse the studies taken for review, we may find that some homoeopathic drugs regulate cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), Phosphofructokinase and other mechanisms. These experiments demonstrate that homoeopathic drugs act through host-directed mechanisms, but there is a lack of research papers on sensitive and drug-resistant tuberculosis.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>So this concludes that in this review we were able to achieve only one objective which is the action of homoeopathic drugs through the host-directed mechanism, further research with In Vitro or In Vivo models can help us to complete our second objective.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7343,"journal":{"name":"Advances in integrative medicine","volume":"12 4","pages":"Article 100533"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144518772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These algorithms assist physicians in the optimization of therapeutic decisions that allow for the integration and interpretation of individual biological data, including genomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics. By identifying complex patterns in these data records, AI-driven systems facilitate the development of personalized treatment strategies that align with individual patient profiles. Furthermore, AI enhances pharmacovigilance by predicting potential drug interactions and conducting in-silico toxicity risk assessments through advanced molecular composition analysis. Moreover, AI accelerates the drug discovery process by screening and identifying novel drugs, thereby facilitating the development of targeted treatment. AI empowers physicians to prescribe medications, perform real-time formulary checks, and recommend therapeutic equivalent, economically viable alternatives to patient-specific factors. AI-driven clinical decision support systems (CDSS) further assist physicians in improving drug compliance and optimizing population health strategies by identifying pharmacologically cost-effective therapies. Additionally, AI enhances real-time clinical decision-making by improving diagnostic precision, refining therapeutic choices, and patient outcomes. The evolution of AI technologies offers immense potential for seamless integration into healthcare systems despite challenges such as data bias, limited model interpretability, and regulatory complexities. This integration revolutionizes personalized medicines, accelerates the drug discovery process, and improves the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of drug therapy.
