Material Basis-based Pharmacokinetic Investigation of Chinese Medicine
基于药效物质基础的中药药物代谢动力学

The pharmacokinetic study of Chinese medicine (CM) is a new research direction in recent years. The pharmacokinetics of some CM and its formula have been investigated and a number of related theories and hypotheses have been proposed, which provide some insights into this area. However, the overall studies in this aspect were still at the early exploratory stage and further studies are needed. This paper summarizes the recent advances, interprets the definition, characteristics and difficulties of CM pharmacokinetic study. The authors proposed the material basis-based evaluation model for CM pharmacokinetic study.
