Although single molecule drugs remain the focus of drug development, polyherbal formulations are evoking interest due to their synergistic activity, low toxicity and multitargeting potential. The objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacometabolic response of chick Chorio-Allantoic Membrane (CAM) to polyherbal formulations using high resolution NMR and also assess their antiangiogenic potential using CAM assay. The significant inhibition of neovascularization by the formulations comparable to that of the synthetic chemotherapy drug thalidomide, was reflected in both the CAM assay and NMR spectral data. In the latter, it showed as significant reduction in choline, pyruvate, and lactate peaks.
