Pharmacoinformatics-based investigation of bioactive compounds of Rasam (South Indian recipe) against human cancer

Abstract Spice-rich recipes are referred to as “functional foods” because they include a variety of bioactive chemicals that have health-promoting properties, in addition to their nutritional value. Using pharmacoinformatics-based analysis, we explored the relevance of bioactive chemicals found in R...
