Evaluation and screening for biological activity of components in Chinese materia medica / 中草药

Biological activity evaluation of Chinese materia medica (CMM) composition is one of the main means to explore the active components of CMM. This paper, from the three aspects of whole animal, cellular, and molecular, discusses systematically the technical progress in this area over the past 10 years and the screening of new active ingredients from CMM and monomer compounds based on new technology. At the same time, the different technical strengths and weaknesses have been analyzed in the hope of providing the information and ideas for the research on the new drugs of CMM.
