ABSTRACT
Currently, the domestic and foreign research methods for the qualitative basis of Chinese materia medica (CMM) mainly include phytochemical separation method, pharmacological activity tracer method, chromatography, etc. The above methods have played an active role in elucidating the qualitative basis of CMM. However, how to form a multi-component research model that can better reflect the "holistic view" characteristics of CMM and reflect the effectiveness of CMM has become an important direction for scholars in the industry to explore. Serum spectrum-effect of CMM is based on the theory of spectrum-effect to study the relationship between serum chemical fingerprints and pharmacodynamics in vivo. In this paper, by consulting relevant literature, the research idea of serum spectrum-effect was collected, the research results were summarized, and the research bottleneck was analyzed and discussed, so as to provide reference for revealing the material basis of CMM.
ABSTRACT
Study on pharmacodynamic material basis of Chinese materia medica (CMM) is one of the key points of CMM modern research. It is also the core of ascertaining the overall efficacy and the function essence of CMM. It is an important basis for the safety, efficacy and quality control of CMM. However, since the multiple components, complex medical effects and interactions among effective components of CMM, the clarification of pharmacodynamic material basis has become a difficult question, which restricts the CMM modernization. Therefore, pharmacodynamic material basis of CMM has received widespread attention in the academic field. Many experts and scholars have done a lot of research and practice on this area. This article analyzed relevant literatures about pharmacodynamic material basis researches of CMM, and reviewed connotation, research thoughts and methods of CMM. It discussed some existing problems in current studies. The goal was to provide references for pharmacodynamic material basis of CMM.
