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.
