Abstract
Aim: To examine recent patents related to plants with antimicrobial effects. Methods: Ourinvestigation was carried out using theEspacenet database, searching patents related to International Patent Classification (IPC) codes A61P31/04, and A61K36/00 between2008and2023. Results: The study began with 360 patents, of which 15 were found to be duplicates; 144 were not related to the research topicand six were not available. Then, 48 patentswere related to other administration routes. The final selection was 47 patents related to local administration compositions. The potential for these herbal compositions to be marketed as over-the-counter medicines was evident. Conclusion: Developing new plant-origin anti-infective agents could provide promising solutions for combating resistant infections and offer accessible treatment options.
