Traditional Medicine World Congress-TMC 2026

Medicinal chemistry plays a vital role in transforming traditional medicine knowledge into scientifically validated and clinically effective therapeutic agents. It focuses on the design, synthesis, modification, and optimization of chemical compounds with potential medicinal value. This session at the Traditional Medicine World Congress 2026 will explore how medicinal chemistry bridges traditional remedies and modern drug discovery.

The session will highlight the identification and structural characterization of bioactive compounds from medicinal plants, structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies, lead optimization, and drug development processes. Discussions will also address challenges such as standardization, safety, efficacy, and regulatory requirements. By integrating traditional medicine insights with advanced chemical and pharmacological techniques, this session aims to support innovation in natural product-based drug discovery and promote the development of safe, effective, and globally acceptable therapeutic agents.
