ABSTRACT
Establishing a scientific method of quality control and evaluation of Chinese materia medica (CMM) is important and challenging for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of CMM. The existing methods of quality control and evaluation of CMM have many limitations and it can not be effectively evaluated in the true sense. Based on the existing CMM quality system, the rational use of bioeffect evaluation method can realize the scientific quality control and evaluation of CMM and provide the necessary technical support for the modernization of CMM. This article summarizes the bioeffect evaluation methods established in CMM, such as activating blood and removing stasis, ventilating lung, antibacterial activity, and anti-inflammatory activity. This paper provides useful reference for establishing a scientific quality control and evaluation system of CMM.
