Declining or Waning
- Traditional Herbal Medicine Interactions:
Research on the interactions between herbal medicines and conventional drugs has decreased, possibly due to a growing emphasis on clinical pharmacology and evidence-based studies. - Basic Mechanistic Studies of Drug Metabolism:
There appears to be a waning interest in purely mechanistic studies without translational applications, as the focus shifts toward clinically relevant findings and implications. - In vitro Metabolism Studies:
The frequency of in vitro studies using liver microsomes or cell lines has declined, as researchers increasingly prefer in vivo studies or physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling that provide more clinically relevant data.
